lighting for 75 gal reef???

[addicted2]

I am asking for suggestions for lighting for my tank...I currently use a 48" aqualight pro that has two 150w metal halides plus the actinics and moonlights...I currently am using the coralife 10,000k halide bulbs that came with the light and was wondering is there other bulbs that would show off the colors of my coral better or brighter(like my zoas, frogspawn..etc..)? is 10,000k bright enough? would 14,000k be better?...I really like my light but I am wondering if I can even get more out of it...any suggestions welcome...

I've ran de 20k 150's and felt the bulb in no other word is crap. It is very dim and it was able to keep sps alive but the sps looked very unhealthy. I would definitly stay with the 10k but add 420 or 460 actinic.
Your tank looks great!

would I be able to upgrade the bulbs to 250's???

The MH's are ballasted for the lamp specified - the only way to upgrade to 250's would be to change the ballasts first.
