Need input on adding 3rd light on 180

[Baalz]

I have a 180g thats been up and running for a little over 3 months now. Currently I only have 2-250w iwaskis and 2-160w vho actinics over it. The iwaskis are mounted in the center and one side for now. My original plan was when I move my sps corals over from my 75 I would then add the 3rd 250w iwaski from there ( I have 2-250w iwaskis currently over the 75g)

But I was wondering how my 180 would look with the 2-250w iwaskis on each end and a 250w HQI 10,000k DE over the center.
With the actinics still

Does anyone have this setup with pictures?

Or the same setup with a 400w iwaski over the center

Funny I kinda faced the same situation. I just recently purchased a 180 gal and had to get a 3rd MH. I have 2-250W Iwasakis and decided to do a 400W Iwasaki in the middle for high intensity SPS/Clams. I never understood why HQIs were good so I just stuck with normal MHs. I have not set it up yet, hopefully within a few weeks it will be up and running.
