Two 250s alone on a 90 gallon tank is quite sufficient....plus the VHO...you can keep anything....

You will be able to keep anything. Bulbs and the ballasts will determine if you like the color.
I'm going led soon and will have frag tank half halides and half radion leds before big dt build so I can see which direction I take! Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

Thanks the reason I ask is the Bakst are pretty new but the reflectors are old and just a bent piesce of shiny metal pretty much and the vhos donthave reflectors but that's great if I did switch would a aquatic life six bulb t5 fixture that is 48 inches be okay
