52long 32 deep 24 wide. It's a deeper tank so im looking for some advice on lighting. Thanks in advance Ryan

That 32 deep is going to be rough to light. I'd recommend something like 4-6 Xr15's/kessils/hydras. If you supplment them with T5's though, you'd be set. Could do like 3 Xr15/Xr30/Kessil/Hydras with a 4 bulb T5 Aquatic Life 48-60" fixture and you'd be set.

Welcome! Sounds perfect for 3x Orphek Atlantik!

But you should really let us know what kind of corals you plan on growing Ryan.
