I'll be setting up a new tank.
It's 100g and measures 72"x18"x18"

I want to keep an assortment of sps, lps, zoas, etc.

What I was planning (and here's where the question comes in) was:

Left half of tank: (SPS side)
2x250W SE MH (2 spider reflectors facing eachother)
2x96W PC Actinics

Right half:
2x96W PC 10K Daylights
2x96W PC Actinics
(The PC's came with the tank so I'm going to use them and save the T5 or VHO expense unless this is just a terrible idea)

Comments, suggestions, helpful opinions are all welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Just to get this out of the way...
"Steve, your an idiot! What are you thinking?"

Now you can comment. lol

I seems like the two halves of the tank will be two different colors. I have about that same size tank and I run 2- 250w MH and 4 80w T-5s and I have no problems. If you are set in using those lights I would do:

1-250w MH on each side and spread the PC's out evenly. IMO
