2x250W HQI Metal Halide 4X39W T5s on 65 Gallon

[mattgee87]

I have a 65 Gallon tank and i'm going to be putting a Current USA Outer Orbit 2x250W HQI Metal Halide & 4X39W T5s over the tank. Do any of you guys for see any issues with this much light in a standard 65 gallon tank ( 36x18x24 )?

Will it be ventilated at all?

It will be open topped

Nope...just acclimate your corals to the light and you should be fine. You could also (depending on the T5 bulbs you have running) turn those off (if you can) to help lower PAR a little more during light acclimation.

I have a similar setup but I only have one MH. It works out pretty good.
