Yet ANOTHER lighting question

As my hunt for MH/T5 unit continues I have another question. Right now I'm running a 54wx4 T5 setup (2 daylight and 2 antic bulbs), what if I found a couple of MH pendants and switched the two T5 daylights over so I have 4 antics. Would I want the antics in front of or behind the MH pendants? Or is there a MH bulb out there that doesnt really need the supplmental antics? Oh, one more thing, would 2 150w MH pendants provide enough light to remove all restrictions on what I wanted to put in the tank?

how deep is your tank?
Supplemental lighting isn't necessary, just gives you more color options. There are plenty of MH halide fixtures out there with no T-5's or LED's in them, but you are limited to what one bulb can make as far as color selection

Its a 75 gal so 18" I think. If I kept the T5 fixture on the tank with the MH's would I want them in front or behind?
