   so im thinking about upgrading my AP 24 from the 70MH lighting to a 250MH fixture i have had for quite some time.  my question is do you thin this would be too much for a small tank like mine.  Just tossing the idea around.  my other question is the Ballast is a icecap ballast but if the 250 is too much is it possible to use a 150 watt bulb with this ballast?

   I've got a 150 watt Aqua Medic pendant with a 3 month old Hamilton 14K bulb if you're interested. 10 watts/gallon is quite a bit of light!
