Keep MH Bell Pendants or Sell them?


I'm getting 2 250watt 10k MH Bell Pendants in the mail and I'm trying to decide if I should go through all the hassle of selling them and using the money with some other cash to try and get 2 horizontal mini pendants instead or just using the bells. I've already got 1 250watt 20k horizontal running on the tank and these two would be in addition to the 20k.
It's a 90 gallon corner tank so thats whats going on with all the mini pendants.
I'm just wondering how ineffective the bell pendants are and if they'll give off enough light to support acropora with my deep 90gal corner.
Lemme know what you all think,
Eric.

the bell pendants are fine. they just have a slightly different use. they produce a more focused beam of light. i think those make a fantastic looking open topped tank. using those bells solves a lot of heat issues that those of us with canopies deal with. i fought long and hard about which way to go. i went with a canopy because i wanted iwasaki's and i knew i needed the actinic supplimentation. it is difficult to add actinics when a completely open topped tank is the desired goal.
