RBTA lighting requirments

[reef rico]

Hey I just got a new 180 gallon. It came with 1 x 250 watt metal halide (14000k) + 2 x 24 watt t5s and 2 x 150 watt metal halide (14000k) + 2 x 54 watt t5s. I want to keep sps under the 250 watt so would the RBTA be able to survive with the 150 watts.
The tank is 23 inches but Ill place the rose up high in the rock work.

Its 23 inches deep with 2 x SEIO's power head which do 2600 gallon per hour plus one seio which does 1700 gallon per hour.

wait 6 months before you add any anemones to a new tank.

ofcourse ill wait six months not a noob lol but what do you think about my lighting. Is that good enough?

sounds fine to me personally. the tank isnt that deep and remember that BTA do very well even under PC lighting. Not as light demanding as carpet! JMO

HTH
