(2) 250's if you get some nice 14k bulbs (phoenix or something like that) you'll barely even need the actinics and it wont really matter IMO. You'll get that reall nice shimmer effect

I say actinic supplementation for dawn/ dusk cycle.

Agree with :chef:....

Use 10k MH bulbs.... have all t5s pure actinics...

I'm going to go against the grain here and say 2 x 150w 10k MH w/ actinic supplementation. For a 75g tank (typically 21" high), the intensity of two 150s are more than enough to grow SPS (even around the bottom 1/4 of the tank), while not being too overpowering for some LPS corals (wellsophyllia/trachyphyllia brain corals, cynarina, etc.) that don't do as well under super intense lighting (should you chose to include them as part of your aquascaping).
