Amount of wattage?

[Wilty]

Since everyone has a different opinion, and we love to talk about lighting so much. What about lighting over a 130 Gal? Psssst not made of money lol.

I was planning (2) 250W MH with (4) 30w NO fluorences (cheap). But the more I read from everyone with successful tanks the more i think I may need more. That is 620w over a 130 gal. A 4.77 ration of Watts/Gal. Should I be thinking 400w???????? Should I also invest in sun glasses for my fish?

I want to get into clams and hard corals so .. I don't want to limit myself.

Once I'm further a long I will post construction pics of my tank. I'm built almost everything. I'm really pleased
