Here's my current setup: 90g (48 * 24 * 18) with a JBJ 4*55 enclosure on top of it: 2 10K and 2 71K actinics.

I removed the glass canopy this weekend and mounted the JBJs raised about 3" above the waterline as recommended to me. So, with the glass canopy gone, I have a lot more space to add more lights.

With a budget of $150 or less, what would you change/add to increase the lighting on the tank?

I was thinking maybe switch the JBJ setup to 4 10k bulbs and add some NO actinic bulbs for the blue?

Any good ideas greatly appreciated, of course.

I would retro in a 175w Metal halide. If you search around you prolly can pick up a used socket/ballast combo for under $75 then a new 10k bulb runs around $70-80.

No hood to retro it in, unfortunately. MH probably wouldn't fit... I'd add a second JBJ set, but that costs closer to $300...
