Please help me decide.
Ok folks... someone with good knowledge of lighting please help me with this. Now which is better... 220watt pc or 150watt MH for a 29 gal tank? Thanks in advance.

150w of Metal Halide, without a doubt. Not only would it provide more intense lighting for your corals but the overall appearance of your tank would look a bit more natural since the MH provides the shimmer lines.

I vote for the 150w metal halide, provided it's a 10,000K and not a 20,000K. The 20,000K would not be strong enough for that tank.
