What do you guys with 90gals have on your tank?? Would you do 2 250MH or 150MH?? I was thinking one 250MH and one 150MH as i am going to keep sps on one side and Lps on the other.
Lighting for a 90gal??

I'm quite a bit anal retentive, so my take would be it would look off with the 2 different bulb outputs. Not only would they be different pars, but the colors would be difficult to match. IME, the 90 gal is deep enough to run 250s with more than happy LPS placed low in the system. For the extremely sensitive, the sandbed towards the side would be appropriate.

I use 6 overdriven T5's on mine. Works AWESOME for SPS, not so much for LPS though, I cook acans. 
You could do 6 regular T5 and be just fine for a mixed reef. I went from 2x250W halide and a single 4ft VHO actinic to T5 about 2 years ago, and couldn't be happier.

Heres some pictures of a friends tank 6x54watt T5's on a 120 SPS growing like crazy he frags monthly. Has clams too, the choices of bulbs are incredible cost less than halides
only thing missing is the shimmer.

everything will be new
If you are buying new halides, it seems like the Phoenix 14K are the HOT bulb at the moment. A pair of those, should light your 90 with no need for additional supplementation.
Why not T5?
