Lighting Question
 
Just wonder how much light is going to be enough for SPS in the new 90 gallon im setting up at the end of the month. It has a socket for 1 250MH im think im going to add another so it will have 2 250W proablly 14ks maybe 10ks
also has 2 65wregular floresent and 2 40w atinics. Will this be enough or should i think about changing the floresents over to VHO's was looking at a 110w VHO ballast that will do 4 bulbs now is that over kill?

MH ballast is proablly going to be a PFO 2x250 from J@L gonna get it all at the end of the month canopy has 2 fans so im hoping heat wont be to bad.

Lemme know what you think

Thanks Bruce Anderson

Looks fine to me. I'd ditch the VHO idea and go with HO T5's though.

Only worth it if they have the individual reflectors though.

You're right about that, but only if HO T5's are your main source of light. It doesn't really matter if it's just supplemental lighting.
