too much lighting???

[azguy]

Merry Christmas everyone! I need some expert advice. I have a new reef set up. its 90 gallons. 48x18x24. I own a dual 250 watt m.h. ballast, and a dual 96 watt p.c. ballast. if I hook up the MH's and use 2 actinic pc bulbs, is thst TOO MUCH lighting for a tank only 24 inches high? thanks! I am concerned about heat, and hurting any animals. thanks for any advice!

Nice lights, but I would be concerned with heat. Maybe not now, but summertime.
I guess you can cross that bridge when you get to it.
Good Luck!
