I have a standard 120 gallon tank (48x24x24). If i were to get 2 400 watt halides and 4 55 watt actinic pc bulbs would that be too much lighting for some corals or will i be able to keep all kinds? if i used 2- 250 watt halides instead, would i still have enough light for sps?

thanks for the help.

Dual 400 watt halides wouldnt be too much lighting over it considering it is 24 inches deep.....BUT the 250 watt halides in the 24 inch deep tank would be sufficient. With the 250 watt halides you would still be able to keep SPS and clams, and you would save money on bulb replacement and electricity.

Ever since the day you went away
And left me lonely and cold
My life just hasn't been the same
Oh baby no
