Buying Question on Metal halide

[Boosterman]

My tank is 48 -18 - 30 high and is 110 gal.
I have about 80 lbs of sandy grave and about 100 lbs of live Rock.
My tank is not the regular size in height.
So I can get my hands on two 250 watt metal halide's full system for 250.
I know 400 would be the best , I'm just wondering if I would really in the long run be waisting the money and I should hold out for a 400 watt system.

Thanks in advanced. 

See sometimes help is needed.  But never directions..

Boost..........
there are few members selling mh lights at aquaria.ca.
you might want to check......
As I did see your tank today,I would suggest a dual
400 watts mh.......But hydro would be a consideration on that choice
also depends on what types of corals you want.
softies,lps,sps.
IMO.....that is.

have you thought about t5 instead? alot of people are switching to these with the same results as mh. bulbs are alot cheaper anyways!
