Lighting on a 120?

[Reef55]

I am thinking of this for lighting...

Dual 400 watt MH, SE 10k's
4 x 55 watt PC Actinic 03's
Lunartracker moon lighting (http://thelebos.com/main/cgi-bin/lunartracker.cgi)

Tank will have SPS / clams / etc.

Too much / too little? Comments? Thanks!

I've heard of people doing 3x250's with 2 10k's on the outside and one 20k in the center, but i have never seen the results though.

For intensity I think you will be fine. My preference would be to use VHO actinic, but the PC should be fine. You should be able to keep whatever you want in that set up. If you are not going to be running a chiller heat may be an issue.

I have 2 250 de 10ks with the one 400 radium in the middle. It works fine. I think the prettiest light still is 10K with VHO actinics.

Is VHO an option? I haven't really compared io to PC actinic.

I own a PFO dual 400 watt SE setup already. I do not have the PC stuff nor the moon lighting. VHO's are certainly an option. Any suggestions on a kit with individual reflectors?

Heat is not going to be an issue... I have over 200 gallons in refugium / sumps in the basement that is going to be plumbed into the tank... the tank is in a dividing wall between the dining room and living room, and is sealed and vented to the outside of the house via a bath fan on a dehumidistat.
