Is it to much?

I have a mixed reef system. 110 gallon tank.depth is 24in"Length is 60in". Mostly I have softies,- zoo's, leathers,Anemone. Then there is Acro's, digitatas, Blastos,caps.
My lighting is a Hamilton T5 4x54, Aqua Medic 150 pendant(mounted in canopy). And a hamilton 250 retro.
Could I just do with 2x54 on the T5's? or is this just to much light period. As far as the difference in MH's, I traded a deltec skimmer(used) for the 150, and the 250 only cost me $50.

I don't think thats too much light. Really if you plan on having clams and high light corals near the bottom I would use two 250w for 24" depth. I would keep the t5s and get another 250w and get rid of the 150. you could lose 2 t5s if you wanted.
