I have a 72 gallon reef tank and have been looking at metal halide / actinate combo lights. I've seen the Aqualine and Geisemann lights at my lfs (wow are they expensive 
)
Two questions:
1) which brand is better, or are there any other brands I've missed that not only perform well, but look elegant too (this tank is not sitting in my basement)
2) Should I go with 150 watt lighting or 250 watt lighting? What types of inverts can I grow with a 250 that I couldn't grow with a 150? Does it really make a big difference? There seems to be a big difference in cost!
