Lighting an odd tank

[viper12775]

Good morning everyone I need some advice, I have an oceanic 144 half round the opening is only 36 inches wide would I get away with a 175 watt halide and 2 95 watt vhos, my 6 bulb tek has been giving me Problems [emoji20] so I'm thinking of putting my old retro fit on it the sps are 10 to 20 inches below the surface and thoughts thanks

Can you retro in two sets of 2x24 T5s along with the halide? That should fit in pretty well.

Yes I could add 4 39 watt t5 with room to spare but I'm not sure that would be any better than the vhos other than more energy efficient
