150w MH+ 2-24w T5's over 12" zoa tank?

[reefpimp#1]

Mainly zoas, ricordias and a few sps. Is this gonna be too much light over a 20 x 20 x 12tall nano?
It's a 150w MH + 2-24w T5 fixture.

Use a low par bulb and you should be ok. That can be a lot of light over a 12" tall tank.

Lots of evaporation with that combo.

Use a cheap 20K bulb, and actinic t5 instead of the ever popular ati blue plus and you will have lower par, and the bluer spectrum the coral is used to

Got cheap actinic t5's in it that I'm gonna use and a 15k MH bulb. I'm gonna hang the light about 18" over the tank for better top down viewing which should also help with the par.
