Lighting a 72" x 24" 180

Hi all. Setting up a 72 x 24 180 gallon mainly fowlr for now. I do plan on an anemone for now and possibly SPS in near future. I currently have a 4 x 54 bulb 48" fixture T5. My question is can I add 2 MH at each end and still get quality lighting for growth as well as aesthetics? I could even turn 18-24" MH sideways at each end if needed? I like the idea of zoning the lighting but like saving the cost of complete lighting upgrade at this time.

Thanks!
