Default Lighting

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the following lighting specs are too much forma 90 gallon, freshwater, planted tank with fish? Plants are java's, Anubias, crypto. Fish will be rams, kribs, apistogramma and various tetras.

The specs are as follows: (T5HO 216 w) 2x T5HO fluorescent 12000k 65w daylight bulbs, 2x 65w actinic blue bulbs & 4x blue moon led lights. The unit also has 2 cooling fans on each side.

Default Re: Lighting

with a T5 HO you wont need but 2 of them, to much light you could get alot of algea, i have a light like that, 2 or 4 lights on you can choose just run 2 of them, i would go with 2 6500k lights that would be mroe than enough to grow any plants you want, you might consider c02 was well with that light setup
