250W DE for my 36x36 tank?

DO you guys think a 250w DE would be ok on a 36x36 tank? It's 24in tall. I plan on keeping mostly LPS and softies.

I think you should be fine with one 250 DE. You could even keep some sps on top if you like. You might have some dark areas depending what reflector you use. I suggest you should check Lumenarc reflectors if you could fit it in your canopy. Reef optix III is also a decent choice. hth.
