Going with a 5' tank (150 gallon), will 2 ap9x's be sufficient?

I've searched high and low and cannot find a similar thread about this. I think I am going to set up a 5' 150 gallon tank (60"x24"x24") and I currently have 2 ap9x's and have no intention on going hybrid. I am just curious if this will be sufficient if I plan on adding SPS near the mid/top of the tank.

Looks like for sps they recommend a spread of 36 x 24 x 24 for the lights, so 2 should cover your size! Though you may want to consider adding a blade (or t5) or 2 for more blanket coverage in shaded areas
