Whats the best lighting combination with what I have for my 75 gal?

[kilofey]

I have a 75 gal standard footprint tank. my pc was given to me, and I bought t5 and mh
Pc is 4x65 watt bulbs (about 1'10" long each with a 4' reflector)
T5 is 2x54 watt bulbs (4' bulbs in a coralife fixture)
Mh is 1x175 watt bulb (about 10" long bulb with 15" reflector)
I was thinking of mounting the mh bulb in the middle of the 4 pc lights in the same reflector. My lights would consist of:
4x65 watt actanics pc
1x175 watt 14k mh
1x54 watt actanic t5
1x54 watt 14k t5
Is this a good combo or is it too much? At the moment, I am successfully keeping soft and lps with just the mh and t5, I just got the pc from a friend today. So I would be adding 260 watts of actanic lights (pretty much for color, to make the colors of my corals really pop). If it is too much, its not a big deal cause I got the pc for free

You'll just have to play with the distance between the top of the water and the halide. Watch your temperature as well.
It should be fine though

I wasnt sure how high to put the mh from my water back when I first got it, so its prolly about a foor from the top of the tank, should it be closer?

You're really just going to have to observe and adjust appropriately.
