    I found these at reefgeeks if you dont want to worry about the heat from mh. That is always my concern with the MH lighting because I do not have a chiller and not to mention the cost of running MH lighting is alot more then t-5's. This summer my electric bill was 150.00 cheaper every month for the last 3 month with running just the 1 tank with MH and the others with T-5s.

    250w will get to the bottom of that easily and you could keep anything you wanted. when i ran mine 8 hours/day i noticed zero increase in my electric bill. this was with an electronic ballast.
