Need Some Advice

[cadbury]

I have a 180 Acrylic Reef with an acrylic top. I have 4 six foot VHO's installed right now. I would like to get some SPS coral, nothing to difficult, the problem is I can't really get Halides because I can't install them in my Acrylic hood, they would get too hot, but I love the way they make the tank look, like the shimmering effect? My other alternative is adding 2 more 6 foot VHO"s? I would love some advice on what my options are?

get another canopyhood so you can install MH's

I thought of that, but its the fact that I spent so much money on the acrylic canopy I'm having a problem parting with?

I don't know what else to tell ya.. There are a few sps you can keep alive under VHO's (you'll need more bulbs) but you wont be happy.
