Lighting suggestion

[Reefer525XL]

Im thinking about switching my lights to include a little bit of everything. At the moment Im running 6x OR T-247B over my 300 gallon tank. Dimensions are 96"x30"x25" Tall. Bellow you'll find a sketch of what Im wanting to do and I would like to get everyones opinion on this and if you would recommend I do things differently.

My tank is eurobraced so the MH reflectors will be mounted directly above the glass braces.

This lighting setup will consist of the following:

4x OR T-247B
3x 14k or 20k 175w MH
4x ATI 54w Blue +
2x ATI 54w Purple +
2x ATI 54w Coral +

The plan is to run the LED's for about 10hrs, 6hrs for the T5's and 4hrs for the MH's.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I think you'll have enough light to grow anything.

I'd consider switching the front t5 to be white so you get some white light into the shadows under rock and coral overhangs when the led are on and the MH aren't. Just a suggestion.

Any suggestion for color spectrum of the MH? I was thinking 14K?

I don't think it's really going to matter to the critters in the tank (including the coral). With all the light you'll have and the ability to vary the spectrum with the leds, I'd just go for whatever spectrum of MH you want to look at.

Thank you!
