Wow! At full-power that would be

150w + 192w + 192w + 48w = 582 watts total power

On almost the same size tank, I'm only using (10w emitters):
6x 445 nm blues
6x 455 nm blues
4x 20000k whites
4x 6500k whites
8x 10000k whites

At full power, mine is at 280 watts, but I'm only running the blues at full and the whites at under 40% - I prefer the bluer look (14000k-20000k).

With that many emitters, you must only be planning to have them on at 30% or so I'm guessing.
