Re: my new 120
premium is a great place to order from, however since they are 150 watt you may be limitted. I also have a 120 gallon, I think before I bought to new bulbs I would consider buying different lighting. obviously if your budget can afford it. If you buy two new bulbs you will be out at least $150 or more. So if you can afford to spend some more you could just get a new lighting system. the reason I say this is because you said you wanted to move more toward sps. and you really need to get 250 watt halides in a 24 inch deep tank to have success. Im running dual 250 watt hamilton 14Ks and dual 110 watt VHOs and still could use more light to have more success. but I love the colors the lighting combination gives. that may also have a bearing on the sps colors. just my two
