36 x 18 x 18 SPS dominant lights

Going to go with the aquatic life hybrid, either the existing model or the new DX18 so I can dim the T5s.

I'd like to stick with AI or Radion lights so my question is two Hydra 26HDs, three Primes or maybe tell XR15s? Debating spread versus power at this point...

I suppose you would be better off with more of the lower powered LED.

The thought is you are probably going to run the T5 pretty close for PAR. Multiple LED will cover better closer to the tank then a single would, plus you may not need the full power of the larger LED.

Tricky because the Hydra is a four puck setup, not sure it would have less spread than three Primes. Pricing is almost identical.

Lighting is the hardest decision to make, lol...

I think three primes would be totally fine for spread on that size of tank. Assuming the power balances well with the T5 to your satisfaction of course.
