t5ho 6x54 on a 120?

I have a 48" 6 bulb t5ho Teklight fixture. Originally I was going to use it on a 90g, but what do you think of it being on a 120. I plan on moving the light towards the back and putting SPS directly under it with zoas, mushrooms and plates more towards the front/bottom. Do you think this would work?

8 would be ideal, but 6 could be ok, as long as you have more white bulbs. Maybe 3 aquablues & 3 blue+ to maximize your par.
