You could go with 4 48" VHOs including bulbs, endcaps, electronic ballast and shipping for about $225. Everything is pre-wired and ready to go also.

do you have to aclamate the corals to the new light? or could you just put the lights right on? How many wt bulbs(tubes) should i get? or is that measured in inches?

Dear Mr. Bubble (if thats your real name)
How hard is it to mesure a tank? I mean really it takes like 1 min. to do it accuratly. BTW aren't u there same person who "Claims" to have a 3 ft. sponge in a 2 1/2 ft. high tank?

Mr Bubble,
do you remember why I asked your dimention b4?
about 2 week ago?
if you give out wrong dimension on your tank, we can not help you on the lighting
and I don't think the above dimensions are your tank size. I think you just give us random number here.
You know what I think?
you have a 10 gallon tank

SO Mr. Bubble - what ballast did you go with? What bulb spectrum? Did you get decent endcaps? Inquiring minds want to know.

Dave (aka. Mr. Bubbles), I have a simple suggestion for you that will help alleviate some of your problems with your tank and this board. Ask your dad or mom for 30-40 dollars, and head on over to Barnes and Nobel or some other bookstore. Once you get there, make your way to the nature or hobby section and pick yourself up a nice book on Marine Aquariums. A good one, with lots of information and pictures. Read it cover-to-cover before you post any more questions, and when you are done you will at least be ready to begin to take better care of your tank. Maybe even give some others valuable advice. I think everyone that I have ever known in this hobby started out this way. The more you learn (READ) the more people will value your opinions.....because your opinion will actually be based partly in fact, and not conjecture. That way, nobody will ever call you fake again.
