I’m I’m the process of upgrading my tank from 48x36x28 to 96x36x32.

I currently run 2 Radion XR30 pro and a kessil a360 for a little extra PAR and shimmer for the peak hours.

Plan is to go to a T5/LED Hybrid. Never had anything but LED. Will be a mixed reef, but want to be mostly sps focused.

What set up should I go with?

Thanks in advance!

I have a 110 that is 30" deep. It has a wide center brace so if i get 2 lights and undershoot, i can't easily add a 3rd fixture. But a local lfs owner has 2 hydra 26s on his personal 125 and assures me it is enough. And a guy on here has 2 hydra 32s on a 30" deep 110, with success.
 
But yeah, that hasn't helped me decide or pull the trigger myself. Not as many experiences with tanks over 18 to 24"
