I currently using two 250W metal halide bulbs on my 150g planted aquarium.  The reason I'm sure it is a metal halide system is because I build it from the component level, including a remote ballast system.  The bulbs are manufactured by a company called "EYE".

P.S.  I wouldn't trade MH lighting for anything else I've seen.
