Kessil lighting question

[Bensorensen]

So in starting my next tank and was wondering if I'm over doing it on lights. The tank is a 60g cube 24x24x24 and I have 4 kessil a150w's (2sky blue/2ocean blue) along with one a350w (tuna) and 2 24" blue led strips for moon light . These will be the primary lighting and I also have 2 Hamilton retro fit t-5 both are 2x24watt these are back up I case I need, I also have a par38 that will be over the sump. I will be keeping softies and maybe some plate coral. So the question of the day....to much or two little light.

wow thats way to much..for just softies 2 A150 on the tank would be enough. or 1 a350w would do

 

[Bad Company]

How long do you want to cook the fish for? Jonreefer is correct, however, I didn't like just one point source for lighting. My vote is on a350W and one other source for shadow reduction.

 

[Bensorensen]

So the reason I bought what I did was because In the past I've always ran into limitation due to the lights I ran. If I run 2 150's and the 350 what limitations can you guys see me running into?

 

[Jonreefer]

i see you running into killing corals with 2 much light with all that. I only have 2 A350w over my 40breeder and its goring SPS like crazy

 

[Bensorensen]

I'll most likely go with one 350 and 2 150's. How's that sound?

I agree with what everyone else said.

You can run the 350w and after a month or so if you feel you need more then just add a 150 to the mix

 

[Bensorensen]

Ok cool I guess I'll start with on 350 and maybe the t-5s

 

[Bensorensen]

everyone always talked about more light and how it will produce more coral so that why I bought what I did. I plan on only softies but I don't want to set limitation in that because you never know. The light would be run in a cycle and only on 100% for an hour a day ten cycle back down. I might do the 350 and the t-5s and maybe add a 150 if needed later. Thanks all for the advice I am taking in in board.
