100 Gallon light question

[gto]

Ok i got a 100 gallon with 4 110watt vho's that are 8" above the water and from my sand bed to top of water is 16", how long should i run these lights and what type of coral could i keep with this set up .

i would think mostly soft coral and intermediate coral....some may have to be high in the tank...when i first started i had a 45g with 2 36in vhos and kept a toadstool coral, colt coral and some zoos

Will an Anemone or xenia be ok with that setup?
and how many hours a day should i use my lights 10 hours?

10 hours is a pretty good amount of time.
Xenia will be ok, anemones will require more intense lighting.

Actually i was a little off my lights are 4 60" 140watt bulbs <vho>
and an ice cap 430-008 ballast on each pair does this change anything.

anyone?
