LEDS for MH

I got the SWC led fixtures from TB aquatics. I found out that because of my set up my heaters are on all the time. Would anyone be interested in trading the 2 of the led fixtures for a MH fixture for a 48" tank?

If I'm reading this correctly, it looks like you could simply return them.

Replace with this:

What wattage heaters are you running? I used to run 3 50 watt heaters on a 125 and they were on all the time. I replaced them with 2 300 watt heaters an they only ran for a few minutes at a time. I would recommend a Ranco or some other controller so you don't fry your tank though.

I am running 2 300W. The sump is on the basement wich is at ~70 degrees in summer. and way colder in winter. If my heaters are on all the time now in winter I might need to add a 3rd one.
