suggestions on light upgrade please

[made4water]

I have a 46 gal. bow front and my current lighting is JBJ W/ 2 96w pc. Ive had this setup for a couple of years and im wanting a new look without getting another tank. so i figured that i would just change out the lighting which would allow me to get some sps corals. Ive taken a picture so you can see what i already have in there(sorry bout the pic it was taken with my cell phone). Im looking to get into MH and i want it as bright as possible without hurting my existing corals....any suggestions?

I love Coralife's aqualight pro lights. My 40 (which is probably the same dimensions as your 46 - without the bowing) has an Aqualight pro and it looks phenomenal. Mine has one 150 watt 20k metal halide, 2 actinic power compacts, and 2 blue LED moonlights. I could not be more satisfied with the light.

wow! thank you for the prompt response. Does this fixture give you the glitter affect?

Absolutely! Each part of the light is incredible. The halide looks great, the actinics give it a great glow, and the 2 LEDs are bright! Even the fans are wonderful. During the hottest part of the summer, my tank did not fluctuate off of 76 degrees, and I do not have a chiller, nor did I use a fan on the tank.
All around great light. The only thing I did not like was the 10k halide it comes with. I replaced mine with a 20k for color purposes.
