150W enough?

[microman2k]

i'm finally looking to upgrade from PC's to MH. I have a standard 55 gallon size tank. would a 150Watt 10000°K HQI metal halide bulb with two dual 32watt actinic bulbs be enough? the fixture i'm looking at is a Sundial Hanging Pendant Lighting Fixture.

ok i guess i should have put enough for what..

would that system be enough for anemones and softies?

i think you will need 2 of them on a 4ft tank

that would be enough for anything if you place it under the light. you wont get full coverage out of one bulb over a 55g tank. even the high end reflectors are only designed for 3ft of coverage.
