i would get this rather than using MH.

its a 36 inch Current USA 6x39W Nova Extreme Pro T5HO 3-10k/3-460nm Actinics

This light jams, great growth I have it over a 55.

I think if u go 2x250's u are going to find ur self with some heat issues.

The light you originally linked is pretty outdated and IMO not suited for a 40BR. For $400, you can get a Lumenbrite + Ballast or a 6-Bulb Tek Light with bulbs (which is also a lot nicer than the Current Nova). I have a 36x18x21'' 57G Aquarium and grow SPS near the sand with my T5's. Hope this helps!

I bought mine from ReefGeek but a lot of vendors sell them online. 3x ATI Blue Plus, 1 KZ Figi Purp and 2x ATI Aquablue Plus' bulbs will give you an awesome color combo with good PAR. Hope this helps!
