Lighting a 6' tank

[phenom5]

Quick question.

Can I light a 6' tank with 2 250W MH on lumenarc reflectors? I'd be looking to mainly keep SPS. Tank is a standard 120g. I'd have no problem going with 2 islands under the lights if need be.

I was planning on using 2 400w with lumenarc on my future 6 footer. I use one on my 65 (3 ft) and he coverage is great. I'd rather do this cuz then I could keep LPS on the left and right of the tank.

Me too. But I'm trying to figure out what to do with my father-in-law's 120g tank, which I don't really have the money or the room for. I hate the thought of selling it off though.

Thanks. I know that the Lumenarc's are supposed to give good coverage over a 3'x2' area. I don't know what I'm going to do, I'm just trying to figure out all of my options.
