So I have been getting a lot of mixed opinions on which lights to go for mostly due to the fact the tank is very shallow, been told 2 Kessils A360s may be overkill or not enough, 2 XR30s would result in too much light spill from the distance they would have to be hung.

So I decided I may just make my own fixture, attached is a picture of my plan. If I could add another 2 T5s I will but most likely won't have the room due to the fact the tank is only 10" Deep.
I understand the 360x is limited to 30x30 and that's most likely at 100% and would probably burn whatever is underneath, but I think at 50% it will give enough shimmer effect and grow whatever is underneath it. I am hoping the T5s will be enough to supply whatever coral may be on the sides.

What do you guys think?

One kessil in the middle isn’t ideal imo. I’d run two and turn them down so you get end to end coverage. or go two XR15. On my IM 30L I run two Current USA Orbit R24. You can see my tank in my content history if you like. The SPS growth is slow with blue and white at 100%. Id like to add two T5 or one 30” Viparspectra but can’t hang anything here.
