Ok, I'm buying a new 90 gallon quarter round tank soon and I have everything figured out but would like to see if im on track with my lighting. I chose to go with VHO lighting. Keeping in mind that this setup is a corner tank I have to deal with smaller light strips. So I was thinking of a 36" strip with 1 - 20,000k 95w and 1 - 10,000k 95w, then in a 24" strip w/ 2 - Actenic 75w lights.
I was planning on going with fish, live rock, and soft corals. Does this sound good? Also would this be sufficient to do the stony corals also? TIA

Well you be at almost at 4 watts per Gallon, light is not the whole picture ,water quality is important too, anything is possible

In my limited experience, start with soft corals then try some stonies. After they are aclimated move them to the top of the tank, close to the light. If your water quality is good I bet you can pull it off. Check out Garf.com they will give you advice over the phone and the soft frags I got from them were great.
