Lighting Help for 150

I just received a used 150 gallon tank, It has three 150 metal halides on it. Before I set this up at my house I am going through each piece of equipment I was given. Should I keep this for lighting and then supplement with what or should I look at something else. It has been 8years since I had my last tank and a lot has changed. Looking to keep fish and some corals, soft in it.
Thanks!

If it still works then change the bulbs and be happy. Phoenix 14k is a good choice.

You can always add a strip of led's or a few t5's if it is not enough.
