Ok , I have a 110 gallon tank, dim. 4 ft lg , 18 inches wide x 28 inches deep. I will have differents types of coral and some fish in this tank. I found a setup for sale which is 8 mths old, and reasonable , here is the info, will this be TOO MUCH for my size tank? I dont wanna bleach everything out that i add. 2X LUMEN MAX ELITE 250/400w MOGUL PENDANT reflectors w/glass shields (13 x 13 x 4) 2X 250w RADIUM 20K bulbs 2X GALAXY 250/400w magnetic ballasts with easy disconnect cords (120v) its got some cool features also. All equipment was bought in january and set-up in february, its in immaculate condition. I recently have a hood on my tank with 4 t5's mounted inside 4 in from water and will probably remove it and hang these lights from the ceiling. maybe 14 inches from the water. I also have a 2 piece glass flip up cover that i purchased with the tank originally. Which is in the closet, if i hang the lamp fixtures above the tank should i use these glass covers or should i just add wire to contain my fish from jumping out?/ Still have not purchased this stuff yet, just need opinions from experience please. my temp in the room stays 70-72 and not in a window. dont wanna buy a chiller either.:squigglemouth:
 
its a good deal of light for sure. But you can raise the lights 12 to 16 in off the water. That would really help with the heat. But you will be fine if you place you corals wisely.
 
You could use a fan to blow across the top of your sump or tank to help cool it off.
