lighting for a corner 60 gal

[darklcd]

hey all

its been a while since I was on here but I have no got everything out of the fire situation and I am ready to start again. I am doing a sime set up with an eel a lion and a couple larger fish ( I know what the lion will do if they are smaller lol).

what I am wondering is lighting I have a 24" 250 WATT HQI fixture with 2 25 bulbs as well. I am wondering if this will be enough light for the tank. With thia being a corner unit I was not sure if this would be proper or if I should get a retro kit and make something.

Any thoughts?

I hang a 250W Hamilton Pendant and a 150W Coralife MH/Flourescent fixture over my 90 corner... If I turn the 150 off I can barely tell the difference.

I think a 250 will be fine. I keep a full reef under mine!

sounds good to me like I said I am not looking for a full reef with the fish that I want to keep I might do a few simple corals maybe but thats about it
