Go for a 10000k bulb, Ushio/BLV or Aqualine Buske. You want a mogul socket; there is a medium socket as well but it is not popular in the industry.

If you are sticking with 175w mogul base lamps, I would go with 10,000K Ushio.
How tall is your 150-gal tank?

I would go with 250w 10k lites, mogul base. Scott gave a great choice in his post earlier.

Most people would prefer 250's in your situation but you can get by with what you have.
