Why do you think you need 195watt MH bulb?
I dont think they make that wattage.
What are the dimensions of your tank?
What are you going to keep in there?

Can't say I've heard of a 195 watt mh, but I would recommend the 250. It is a little more expensive, but with the better lighting, it will open up possibilities for a variety of corals. 175 watts is enough for a lot of corals also, especially if you supplement with VHO's or PC's.

i was planning on keeping an anemone and i thought you multiply 3 watts by each gallon your tank holds this might be wrong and it it is can you tell me how much watts i need?
