Lighting question's

I know this is a tired subject but still new to me. Have been running a tank with 2 actinic whites and 2 actinic blues for 3? years now. They are ran on seprate Ice-Caps. Never had any trouble with them.
Now the Tim Allen in me spotted a retrofit kit from an online light comp.
I know nothing at all about MH lights. What I don't know is what temp means what spectrum (and what do I want?) Also is it one ballast per light? How much MH lighting is too much? Planned to keep the vho's and add relector and MH's.
Lots of questions I know and I am sure more to follow. Any help and idea's welcome.
The tank is a 180 2 foot deep. We keep a mix of corals and def plan Clams when we know what the heck we are doing.

I wpuld go with 3x250 watt metal halides on a pfo ballast and and use your icecap ballast and bulbs for supplement lighting.
