180gal lighting?

[rags111875]

hey folks, i'm helping a buddy of mine setup a 180gal tank.
dimensions: 6' x 2' x 2'.
2 braces across top of tank (perfecto RR).
my question is:
2x 400watt halides (does this provide even light distribution) or
3x 250watt halides?

(fyi* going with hamilton 14000k bulbs w/ spiderlight reflector)

i would go 3x250 with the lumenarc reflectors. will make the 250s very bright!

thanks for all replies.
3x 250 it is

That's similar to what i had over my 120.

I vote for 3 250s in Lumen Bright Reflectors.
