Just about ready to fill up my 240 and so it's time to decide on lights. The tank will be sps dominant. I have a lot of lightning on hand just need to decide what I'm using. My choices are...
Metal Halide, 175x2, 250x4, 400x4
T-5, could do 36 or 48" I have hardware to put up to 16 bulbs over it
LED, I have three AI Sols and two Evergrows
I need bulbs for T-5 and MH but the hardware is all here.

So with out commenting on how with all this equipment I must me a hoarding pack rat as that obvious.
Which lights, what combination?
I have thinking all of them. Sols for the blues, t5 for late morning/evening light with some thing in the 12-14k range and a pair of 400 watt MH for mid day sun.
Thoughts
 
4-400w Halides, Radium 20k. Best light, and top in the list for going with SPS
 
If i had all three I would run all of them. the blues give a very nice pop , t5s give a nice even color across the tank and always the mh will pound them
