Would this be a good idea Nova Extreme 4 x 24 Watt High Output HO T5 Lighting Fixture with a 250watt medal halide on a 92 gallon.

Also, what is your goal, what are you trying to grow?

I already have the halide hanging, I thought i needed some more light what do you think

yes this is a corner tank and I'm using a 14k phoenix bulb. What do you mean when you say top half.

By top half I mean in the top half of the tank. IE the light is strong enough in the top half to support SPS but as you get deeper the PAR will drop off and not be enough to keep SPS from browning/growing.

DE and cant tell you what kind or reflector dont know new to the game
