With that tank being 24" deep would I be ok with dual 150 MH or does it NEED 250's?

Current USA 48 inch Outer Orbit with T5s & 150W HQI Bulbs for $722

or move up to

Current USA 48 inch 250W HQI Outer Orbit with T5s & 250W HQI Bulbs for $841

both units have 2x54w Actinic 460nm / 2x54w Actinic 420nm and include 9 blue leds/9 white leds moon lights. So the only difference is dual 150's or dual 250's and about $120

It's ALL gotta go!!* Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change. Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.
