Question Lighting for a tank with center brace. Also, qty of lighting

Hi. I'm setting up a 56g column tank (30x18x24). The lighting I already have is a 250w hqi de halide pfo pendant, and 4 x t5s (24" long each) and 4 leds moonlights.

I'm wondering:

1) Is this too much light? Should I be trying to trade the 250 for something else?

2) Will I see a pronounced shadow down the center, even with the supplemental t5s?

Thanks!
-A

The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. “It’s overfull! No more will go in!” the professor blurted. “You are like this cup,” the master replied, “How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup.”

Current Tank Info: 56g, 20g.
