5x24x24 Lps dominated tank lighting suggestions

[k2-]

Hi Reefer - I have mostly Lps, few montis and I aspire to have sps.

May tank is 60x24x24

ai hydra 64 x 2
Ai prime 16 HD x 2
2 t5 (1 actinic and 1 blue )

My ai light has following setup -
Cw - 10%
blue / uv / deep blue - 60%
red / green - 5%

my t5 run 4 hours a day.

Any suggestions on lighting setup will be appreciated.

Also i wanted to double check and i suspect I am over lighting and compensating it by lowering light intensity but would like to use my 2 ai prime in my 50 gallon (3 ft tank) which is running a black box light and 2 t5

I’m sure i’ll get crap, here but there isn’t anything such thing as too much light.

Imagine the Par value at the equator on a reef….

Now with that said if you suddenly jack up the lights corals may not like it, so go slow and ramp away.
You can always move stuff lower in the tank.

I would get AI 32 HD, my LPS love my AI Prime HD, not so much my Kessil's
