So my buddy gave me 2 - 250 watt Metal Halide retro kits with ballasts and new bulbs.. Great Deal right!! Well this is my problem.. My tank is a 46 gallon Bow Front and im pretty sure 500 watts will be to much light and 250 watts should be nice buttt there is a plastic bar that goes across the middle of the tank as they do on most Bow Fronts. Im pretty sure I shouldn't cut it out right?? bacause when I hang up the light the plastic peice casts a shadow in the tank. what do you think I should do.. Any Advice is appreciated.. Thanks
