how much light is too much light?

I have a 36 gallon corner tank, and a 24" outer orbit light. (150 Watt MH and 2x65 PC). Is this too much light for this small of a tank? I have soft and LPS corals, and a BTA.

I think your OK. If your corals look like there getting to much just raise the fixture.

As long as you don't have heat issues, your fine.
