    Quite an upgrade,love the dimensions of that tank.Your sunpod should light it up just fine.With all of that room and the right aquascape you should have no problem placing corals according to their lighting needs.Personally I would rather upgrade to some really nice leds to compliment that tank but that is a large exspense that could always come later.

    wow, that is quite the upgrade. Are you looking at purchasing the complete system? I love the look of starfire glass!

    Yes, I was going to buy the complete system if I don't have to buy new lights. Looks like a pretty sweet deal for $1299.

    2 x 250 Watt Metal Halides will be plenty of light for that 90 gallon tank. No problem keeping SPS with that.

    If the bulbs are more than a year old you should replace them. Then you're golden.
