Wanted to know if i have enough light for my SPS i have listed them below

Hydnophopra (ground level)
Ora green birdsnest ( mid level )
Two Validias ( mid level - they seem to be growing already white tips now turning green and purple )
green monti ( Very top - seems to like it there )
Orange monti ( Mid level - seems to like it there clored up nice from when i got him )
Yellow tort ( Mid level )
Green milli ( Mid to Lower level )
Green slimer ( Mid level in corner - not sure if he is still alive )

tank 120gallon oceanic
24" high 18" deep 60" long

lighting Hamilton Cebu (2) 14k 175watt halides
4 80watt T5 (2) ATI aqua blue specials (2) ATI Attincs

salinity 1.025- 1.026
Nitrates 50ppm
Nitrites 0ppm
Alk 10-12
Ammonia 10ppm
Temp. 78
Calcium 400 - 420ppm
PH 8.4
Magnesium 1400pm

so with that info more concerned with the lighting my water is pretty stable wanna make sure there is enough i dont have too many high places to put coral so most of them will be about 12inches down from top :banghead::banghead::frown::confused:

That lighting seems adequate for growing SPS.
Can you possibly post a full tank shot so we can see the aquascaping?

More of a concern would be the Ammonia level (it should be zero), any idea why it is elevated?
Also your Nitrates are on the higher side, you might want to increase the size or frequency of your water changes.
