Default Two Lumenarcs over a 6-foot tank?

Would I be able to get away with using only 2 MHs with Lumenarc reflectors (either the big ones or the minis)?

Secondly, I do plan in using T5 supplemental lighting, but how feasible is it to squeeze them in if the tank is 24" wide given that the big Lumenarcs are already 19" wide.

I plan on putting SPS/clams right under the reflectors with LPS/softies in between and on the edges.

Maybe you want to think about the Lumenarc Mini's - supposedly just as good, but with a much smaller footprint. Then you'd have space for the T5's..

I have 3 over a 6 foot tank. I used the Luminarc III not the minis. But my tank is 3 feet wide. You might want to consider 3 of the minis and you woul still have room for T5.
BTW I run 4 X 2T5 retro kits even with the Luminarc IIIs
