MH Lighting

K heres the story.
I am starting a 15g salt water, and i was going to get 2*65 watt light for it. But next thursday im going to a pet store that is going out of business, and if they have MH lighting for the same price as wat i was going to pay before for the PC i might get that. What should i look for, if its 175w is that too much. I need all the help i can with this thanks. also will it cause a lot more evap. and electricity cuz i still live at hoem and dont want my rents' hydro bill going up much more.

I've found that 175w MH are about the cheapest MH lights around. They should work fine on a small tank like a 15gal. I am working on a 15gal. setup now that will use a 250w HQI double ended bulb and Aqua Medic chiller for growing out stony frags. So, I'm all for MH on a nano.
