trying to change my 400 watts to 250

Hope your back gets to feeling better, mine has been touchy for almost 2 weeks now, sucks because it really limits what you can get done everyday!
Why the lower wattage lights? Any plans for the 400 watts ones?

Something tells me pictures don't do this beast justice. I think a video is in order.

none
i want to save some electricity my friend run 3 175watts on his sps tank with no issues so with 250 watts with a great ballast and good reflector it should be ok.
ps i only have 1 400 watts now 3 of them are 250 watts

I'm stuck with CF's for now, I want to upgrade but don't want to spend the big bucks and I wanted to avoid the heat. I'm trying to wait for LED's to get cheaper!
