I'm saying a 2x150w4x54w combo is an over kill. Even for sps and clams. One or the other is MORE THAN ENOUGH for anything to thrive at any light level.
the 6x39w he has now is even enough for what ever u want to keep. The only problem is its a 36" fixture on a 48" tank so the sps and clams need to be under the light, but sps and softies will thrive in the corners.


I dont believe in lighting "rules" its all about par. Not wpg not how wide, its par.

Get itself some good bulbs and ur good. No need to upgrade just to get a shimmer.
