My 220 will have 4 MH bulbs 2x400 and 2x175. The plan is the 400's will be 10K and the 175 will be 20K. Any benefit to adding 4x96w pc's? I have them on hand and thought about using them since I have them. However I could use those pc's elsewere. Plan for the tank is sps dominate.

I don't see any, save electricity.

I guess you'll do the dusk/dawn effect with the 175W ?

Thanks, and yes the 175's will be dawn/dusk

sounds like a nice setup, keep it simple like it is MH only

Sounds fine with your current plan, I'd skip the PCs.

Pc's are for the actinics and thus aesthetics

u are using 20K though so no point unless you just want to add more heat for some strange reason
