Hi to everyone I am new to this site. I was wondering if anyone has tryed this. I have a 110 pentagon tank 60Lx18Wx24H and was going to put two 250w radiums one on each side about a foot from each end. Then put a 175 14k in the middle. Will that look weird or should it just blend together and make the radiums not as blue? Also will it look weird having a 175w in the middle. I can upgrade the light and ballast and make it a 25ow but wasnt going to do it unless I have too. Also do you guys think if i do upgrade that 3 250w Mh might be to much. I also have 2 420/460 96w Pc. I am transfering all my stuff from my 60 gallon. It has sps, lps, zoos, polys along with some random fish and creatures. Please any info would help I am getting mixed info on the subject. Thanks in advanced for your help. :thumbsup:

I have a 3ft tank and I run a 250 on one end and a 175 on the other end...I don't think it looks weird. The light overlaps enough that it just looks a little brighter on the 250 end.
I would say try it and if you don't like it you can always change it. People love to buy used bulbs with low hours on them, so it won't cost you the full $$ to switch spectrums if you decide you don't like it.
