Im upgrading my lighting this week to MH/T5 combo, after looking at all the options and based upon my setup and live stock I decided to go with a 36 inch Current USA Outer Orbit 2x150 Watt (10,000k) MH and 4x39 T5s(blue and white) and also 18 LED (9 blue,9 White) fixture. I have a 72 gallon bowfront. Total wattage with MH and T5 is 456 watts. I plan on keeps some SPS corals and at least a clam. What do you all think of this fixture?

Just make sure the halide insn't going to be directly over the support bar on the tank.
