    Default 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...
    "Steve, your an idiot! What are you thinking?"

    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
