ok.... right now my tank is at about 78-79 degrees with VHO on
I was thinking of adding a 150w HQI bulb in the mix
the canopy is about 6 inches above the water line
will my temp go up considerably and just add more VHO or will i be ok?

Adding 150 watts of MH's(HQI), VHO's, PC's, T-5's, NO's doesn't matter..watt per watt the heat will be about the same...in other words you'll get the same amount of heat from 150 watt's of NO bulbs that you will from 150 watt's of MH's

Not sure what you mean:confused: X being MH's and Y being all others...X=Y
