Is there an inexpensive way to add to my light without having to buy a whole new fixture and ditch mine. I just got the light a few months ago? Any ideas?

"coralife 2 x 65watt 50/50" im guessing those are PC? you could start by doubling up on those. Or you could add some MH. Are you running an open top?

Yes those are the power compacts. I do have an open top...well with egg crate so I have no jumpers. Could I add one small mh pendant lamp? I can't go very expensive add I am thinking of just adding to what I have not replacing?

If you have the place sure... but MH spread about 2 feet wide. So on a 55 gal it will really light only half of it. You could stick it in the center and put your light demanding corals under it. JMO.
