if you do some searches on old posts you will see one of my biggest pet peeves is this darn stupid watt/ gal measurment. it means absolutly nothing and cannot even be used as a basis for comparason unless it is on the exact same tank with the exact same lighting. a better measurment if you have to use one of these useless ones would be watt/square foot of surface area, at least we are getting closet to measurments that matter. to show you why this measurment means aboslutly nothing, say I have 4watt/gal in a tank I made. I am doing this with a 40 watt NO tube on a 10 gal tank thats dimentions are 48" long, 8" wide and 6" deep. is that going to be enough light for anything.. nope, well maybe algae. on the same topic, a 120 with two 250 watt MH has less wat/gal than you but can grow SPS.
