Kessil-T5 hybrid DIY fixture

I'm planning on making a fixture like the Aqualife 48" hybrid fixture shown above but I was going to use 3 T5 HO's front and back along with 2 Kessil A360W fixtures in the middle, 12" in from each end. I'm planning on having LPS and softies. Will this be too much light?

I doubt it. I kept a mixed 120g with a similar set up. I only had 4 T5s, but I don't think you're going to have an issue. I used a hole saw and punched two holes in an 8 bulb T5 fixture for mine. It wasn't pretty, but it was supposed to go into a canopy, but I had to move before I built it.
