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.
