I would do 2x175 watt MH's, and some VHO actinic. 2 modded Maxijet 1200, and mabey a maxijet 900 for behind the rocks.

i have 2 96 watt pc..2 150 halide (hqi) and 2 32 watt pc for the sides of the tank...what is so special about the VHO and how do i mod the maxijets

I would go with 2 250 watt MHs. As for flow, if money isn't a issue go with the VorTech pumps or go with the Sieos or Tunze. These three types of pumps have a wide soft pattern instead of a jet that will blow the tissue off you corals.

IMO iw ouldnt og with powerheads, i woul;d use a cloose loop system with a wavemaker so you get random off and on flow for SPS isted of just blowing the same way allt he time
