Custom PC good enough for clams, because the height of the tank for a large reef aquarium. The MH might in watts to 250 because 175 is the smallest scale degenerated to support the shells. Its current is set up well for almost all corals, depending on their placement in the tank. I am also a lot of research on the Odyssea lights. I've heard more bad than good about this brand. Good luck.

The MH 175 W has is good, but the light only on half of the tank. Under certain circumstances, a reflector Diamond lumenarc for a wide area.
Your PC will help you with the rest, but you know that they are not strong enough, especially when a PC is atinic then just the color work, but do not adhere to the corals. If you do not intend to keep their shells and corals high light directly under the MH bulb.

Corro fluorecents compact 4x96 depth of my 125 (once) and most of the coral is not well with them (with the exception of very bright light that requred) for the addition of MH to be smarter delicate coral in the tank. What my light shells are not supported, so I'm not very familiar with them, but if the shell is more or less placed directly under the MH should be good. If you are elsewhere, you can check and share modernization.
