I have a 110G deep tank

Well I cant spend all that $$ now. I think for now ill just add a T5 fixture to help with the PC fixture

your asking for help and you are getting good replies and you are deciding on getting something no one suggested??? Why buy a add on T5 fixture and in a few months upgrade. spend it once and you will be happy

Exactly, Take the PC and put it up for sale for a Fowlr or freshwater tank. I use an old one to start my Garden indoors in the spring. You want a Light that is going to give you uniform coverage. Where the PC is shining you will get poor growth or even coral death. While the other side of your tank will flourish.

FWIW, i ran that same fixture years ago when i first started in the hobby. granted my tank wasnt 30 inches deep, but that shouldnt be a huge issue in the beginning. Rather than dumping more money into lights when you dont even really know what you want to keep, maybe it would make sense to just use the pcs that you have. as long as you keep your corals higher up in the tank, and stick with mostly softies and lps you will be fine to start.

in a few months when you have a better idea of what direction you want to take, you can always buy a nice(r) fixture. but rest assured, you can absolutely grow corals with what you have right now.

Metal Halides are great for growth. There are some downsides. Heat, Electric, Limited control of light color.
