3 175's over a 125?

Hello all,

Looking for opinions on a system I have recently set up. I have a 125 that has three 175 MH - 14k's over it. My plan is to have mostly SPS with a few LPS and polyps tossed in. Is that enough light for this?

My 65 has two 250 MH 14k's and everything is doing great. I guess I am wondering if I will see similar results with the 175's.

Any takers?

Best Regards,

--Rich aka diverdick

That's what i have in my 125 3-175 + 2 6 foot VHOs. My sps is growing. If i did it over i'd go with 3-400 watters. but i don't have the room for lum reflectors. good luck
