Kessils: Two A360ws and two A150s over a 48 inch 90G reef. Too much?

Question is same as thread title.

Depends what you want to keep, as the 360s are dimmable then I don't see a problem.

Yeap, the A360s are dimmable and controller compatible (have a controller on the way).

The A150s are just on/off.

I dont mind having the money invested if this is a USEABLE set up but its all being shipped so if its over kill....ill return the 2 A150ws and use the money for an Vortech MP 40

I have one A360 over a 40 breeder raised up enough for 36" of coverage. I would think 2 A360 would be fine for 48".

I don't think it will be too much, I had a 350w on my 2 ft but it was running at close to 100%.
