Need help w/ lights?

[MIKEDOC]

For a 110 gallon 60x18x24

Which is the better set up if I'm looking to keep sps.

1. 2 400w MH & 2 140w VHO
2. 3 250w MH & 2 140w VHO

What Would be the better set up?

I lean toward option 2 just because it spreads the light out better, thinking of doing 2 6500k on ends & 1 10000k in middle.

Please help!

On a 5ft tank, I would go with 3 metal halides and vhos. Bulb preference for me would be the 250w double ended bulbs in 10K.

I would go with the 3x250's for better light dispersion. Although, personally, I'd be afraid to have that much light if I didn't have a chiller included in the setup. Personally, I would go with 3x175's.
