Do I have enough light?

[FindingSalt]

Im setting up a 72 bowfront with 2 250 watt mh and 2 110 vho's. Is this enough lighting for all sps?

Sounds great. Make sure you get bulbs with good par/ppfd and you're done with the lighting.

Can anyone recommend some good VHO's??

Dont even need high par bulbs.

You've got PLENTY.

I want to know what the 1% would be.

Agreed, that should be sufficient lighting for all sorts of SPS. The URI VHO actinic bulbs are excellent bulbs, IMO/E.

Hi just jumping on would dual 150 mh and 2 125w actinics be suffecient also on a 72 bowfront for sps?

Ditto here with answer to the lighting question.

I have dual 150's myself over a 75g and see slower growth compared to the others, as I have said before I am not going to be a frag farmer. So if you can deal with paint drying growth rates, you will be OK
