Led light, is this enough?

I have a 5 feet long by 24 wide 30 tall tank.

Was thinking about 288 watts of 3w Cree LEDs. Mix would be 2/5 white and 3/5 blue. 60 degree optics. 96 3w leds total. Is this enough for sps? More than enough?

If it is DIY, better get more varities of LED's, such as adding royal blue, lower end of red, upper end of UV (violet), etc.
