4 primes on a 60 breeder,

[jonny4ever]

Currently run 2 of them, the tanks 48x18x16. I get shadowing an stuff so I’m adding another 2, anyone have any idea more or less how intense I should have the lights since I’m doubling the amount? I posted my current settings, was wondering if anyone has an idea what intensity will give me what sort of par. I’m mainly keeping lps and nems. Might get rid of the nems though and add them to my nano

Yea you will need at least 4.
This is my frag system 36x24x12 and its powered by 3 16hds at these levels.
1hr ramp up/down 10hrs peak.

Should I lower the over all intensity on the lights since I’ll be running more? Maybe run them 70% -80% of what I normally have them

Id just keep them the same and adjust up if needed.

Honestly 3 should be fine for an lps tank if you don't want to spend the money.

Tank has ugly center brace, keeping 2 a couple inches from it to sorta go under the brace like how it is now, so I need 2 more on the edges. If it wasn’t for the center brace I would only need 1. Or personally i woulda gotten a used 26 or 32

Except for shadowing in a 4' system. 4 would give an overall nicer look, imo.

I forgot they probably have a center brace so yeah that makes more sense
