What are my options to upgrade my lighting?
I have seen the currents sunpod mh's. But is there somewhere inbetween what I have and mh....that will fit my tank.

What do you have now? They come "stock" with 64w PCs, 70w MH, or 150w MH.
There is a 108w PC upgrade if you don't want to go to the 150w halide.

Stock lighting....1x32w dual daylight and 1x32w dual actinic. So yes 64w.
108w pc upgrade?
I'm looking to get an anemone, my wife likes sebae's, for my clowns. I should have stated that upfront.
As far as halide, I don't mind getting a 150 or 70 watts....I just would rather not spend that much money. And I also live in the south, I don't want to end up with a chiller as well.

Something to consider about the halide - more heat, yes... but you'll also likely be running an open top with the halide, so the heat will dispurse better than it will with a closed top canopy. The 108w option will likely be harder to control the heat with - more watts, closed canoply, heat has no where to go.
Send me an e-mail and I'll give you the link for the 108w upgrade. It's not cheap, but I think it's cheaper than a halide.

I tried to send an email, but didn't work.
How much is the upgrade? I'm looking at around $250 for halide's

$160 + shipping - three 36w PCs in a DIY kit.
Not sure why the e-mail thing didn't work, but...
