MH on Ebay

BigMac, you know a lot about MH, what do you recommend for a bulb, and how often should they be changed?
I have softies, 1 trumpet and 1 brain now. I want to be able to have higher light hard corals and maybe a few SPS and clams. It's a 125 gallon with 640 watts VHO now. I'll probably keep the actinics if I make the move to MH.
I was thinking about a dual 250 wat for the ends and a single 400 watt in the center.
Also, will this be too much light for what I have now? Stuff seems pretty happy.

Yea, it's 6 ft with 2 supports across the top, so I'll need 3 bulbs. Do you mean the 6500k? also, how long before changing bulbs?
Actually I better get a chiller first. At that price though, I might just buy the MH stuff and start on a canopy. 12" from the water right?

I bought my Mh of ---- and got a pretty good deal, the only problem is that it didn't come with a waranty. I am using Isahi 10000, they are a good light but they are very white. So you will need to buy some antinic pc or VHO bulbs to add some blue color.
I bought the lights at Hellolights.com
