I think my lights are expiring ( i'm getting alot of greening on my rocks and tank) I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good bulb for me. I really know nothing about lighting except that it's needed.

I have a
Advanced Series - Hang-on Tank Mount

- Hang-on tank HQI metal halide fixture
- 150 watt 20,000K double-ended HQI metal halide lamp
- External HQI metal halide ballast with on/off switch, 12-foot lamp cord and 6-foot power cord
- Three points of articulation for multiple lighting positions
- Sleek, anodized black-aluminum housing with ventilation grill
- Highly-polished reflector
- Built-in cooling fan
- Glass HQI lens cover
- Heavy-duty mounting bracket

and now I need to replace the bulb, any recommendations?

( I would like to have LPS and SPS's once I can get my tank rebalanced. For me the look ( and health) of the coral is the most important, I really don't want super growth since my tank is pretty small and I don't want stuff to out grow my tank. This is the only light I have so i think I need to stay with the 20k bulb, just not sure which one.

thanks
Yvonne
