switch from PC to MH

[ebeckels]

Should I make the switch from 2 96 watt PC bulbs to 1 175 watt 10k german MH bulb? I have an Icecap ballast for the MH bulb...I'd like to run all three bulbs together but I have yet to find a half decent price on a fixture for 2 36 inch 96 watt pcs and 1 175 watt MH. Please let me know if you think my reef tank would benefit from switching to a MH bulb? pics of my tank and current lighting setup are on my webpage below.

No you don't want to do that...just send that stupid ballast to me so you aren't even tempted to use it. <img src="graemlins//evilwhorn.gif" border="0" alt="[Evil Horn]" />
I think that you wouldn't get enough coverage with just the one light...if you had 2 I'd say yes for sure...one is a judgement call, it would definatially look better with the PC augmenting it.
If you do decide to get rid of it let me know...I need one more for my tank.
