Do you think two halides might be over kill. Looks like a lot of light spilling over the sides

Yes. It's overkill. But one is underkill. So, lesser of two evils

Further, I used to run 2 x 400w on my 75g, which was 18x48 foot print. Worked out well. This is overall a bigger area, so should be fine. I have a big chiller
