[dfreeman64]

saw a used blueline400w mh with 2vho 140w actinic with icecap ballast.
Which of these 2 would you buy. Plan on a reef with sps,lps and the works.

150's aren't close to enough for a 28 tall unless you want low light critters only. Assuming the tank is 6 feet long typically 3 halides would be the way to go. If the tank is braced in the center you could do 2 400 watt halides and be good.
