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.

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.

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...
