is this adequate lighting ?

2 x Daylight VHO 110W
2 x Actininic 03 VHO 110W
2 x 65W PC Combo

On a 90g Hex (DAS) flat back hex.

51" x 20" x 24" (approximate, due to hex front.)

I think the PC's are kinda pointless when used along side VHO's. It's only going to benefit the upper reaches of the tank as the VHO's will penetrate deeper. I think you'd be better using the PC's for actinic supplements and save the other VHO spots for something else. Just my opinion though.

Initially FOWLR.

I plan on keeping Xenia, Finger Leather, Open Brain, Diff. Zoas and A pair of Clarkii with Anemone Host.

I'd like to try to keep a couple of stonies, but don't know that VHOs are going to be adequate.

With the soft corals and the brain, you could get by with the lighting. The anemone, I would highly suggest Metal Halides. Do some research on them....much to read. Blue
