Lighting

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...

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
