Lighting A 200gallon

[1234-fishy-freind]

Hi guys, as some know, I will be setting up a 200gallon fish only with live rock tank to replace my current reef.

I have been planning to use the halide system I have over my reef for the new tank, it has 3 150W bulbs.

However, I have been thinking if it would be possible to get something with the same intence light output put cost less to run, since I am not having corals anymore, the lighting would not need to be as great. But I do want something that will light up the tank just as well, any ideas or shall I stick with my current lighitng.

thanks
josh

T5's or even T8's would be fine for a fowlr set up I have T8's on mine and the lighting is fine
