I am looking to buy HYDRA 32 HD or 26HD x 2 lights or equivalent from other brands

you mean a 64 vs 2 32? 2 26 over a 32 is "better" but older tech too

Hi, I meant 2 x 32 or 2 x 26 if one 64 is equivalent to the two then sure, why not. I am not very knowledgeable on the light system. Plan is to run a reef tank with it

knowing your tank dimensions helps a ton. People kept corals just fine with the 26's. I still run 4 26's on my 5 foot tank, though I am adding T5 soon to suppliment and will also upgrade to radion blues eventually. The 26's are fine but I don't like all the extra colors I just dont use, I hardly get the max par because I under utilize these

48 x 25 w would be the dimensions

2-3 32 would be best. Here is a video about the hydras from BRS where they explain the best set up. The part specific to your tank starts around 6 minutes 30ish seconds
