Ok, need some suggestions for lighting for a 120 gallon reef. We already have 400 watts of pc available in a fixture that will most likely be retrofitted into a wooden canopy. We were thinking of adding 2x250 watt halides as well in the 10k range and using the pc's for actinics ( either all 4 bulbs as actinics or 2 actinics and 2 of another spectrum suggested here.) Tell me what you guys think? We already have the pc's and would rather incorporate what we have into the fixture. TIA

if its a prfecto 120 show wich is only 48" long than 2 250 mh would work with the pc's you have

mine is two 250W DE MH and two 3' T5 actinics. Sounds about the same.
