So guys I want to move into metal halides, the more I see MH set-ups the more I like them but I have a big problem. My tank has a large plastic brace in the middle that is part of the top trim.

Most fixtures at the 36" range have the MH bulb in the middle, I did find a few fixtures with two 150's which would be PERFECT but then my question and the real question here is, can there be too much light in a tank?

2 150 watt MH's and 2 39w T5HO is what I'm looking at.

Help as always is greatly appreciated.

I ran a 4bulb tek light, 4x 39w HO t5's over my old 46bf and it worked amazing! Sometimes miss that old setup, coraline growth exploded and descent growth on the sps :)
