Good morning i was wondering how many ai hydra 26 I needed to put with a 4 t5 lights combo on a 36ftx24htx18w to get great results im running now 4t5 3blue plus and 1 actinic with a light strip by orbit USA any opinions would be appreciated
 
Two is probably fine for most things. If you get some shadows as stuff grows and need a third, you can always get one later.
 
You'll need to be a little more specific. Mix reef? Fowlr? Softies? Sps? What you're going to be keeping is the foundation of how much light you're going to need.

Bang for your buck, I'd just stick with the 4 bulb T5, you really don't need anything else with that size tank. You mentioned an LED strip as well. You're set, even for SPS as long as you put them in the top third of the tank. (Eight inches or less from the surface)
 
I’m sorry I forgot to mention I have a mix tank lps and sps and some zoas pretty good stocks of sps frags that is in the tank
