Upgrade lights???

I have a canopy over my tank. I am running 150watt MH lamps (for over 7 years now) built into the canopy.

Was thinking of changing to 250. My coral has been doing fine, Is the change worth it??

Anyone change from 150 to 250 and see a major difference??

What are the dimensions of the tank?

I would think you would see a major difference. But the draw back would be increased heat.
