Retrofit Kits and SPS

[juice_1080]

I am wondering if a Coralvue Retrofit Kit with 2 250w 14,000K MH's and 2 48" T-5 Actinics will be sufficient to keep some SPS and LPS in a standard 75g tank. It only has a single reflector for the whole kit and I know thats not the best way to have it but I am wondering if it will be enough light.

Plenty. Heat could be an issue if it is not open.

Its going to be in a open top canopy (just going to have braces running front to back to hold the kit up) 12" from the surface with fans if I need them. I just want to make sure I am not going to be limiting myself to what I can put in my tank if I get this setup.
