I am looking at a 60 cube. I have a 25 cube with a kessil a160we on it now. The 25 is 18" x 18" x18". I have the light at 45% intensity. I have sps on top ans lps and softies lower. Could i get away with keeping the 160 and maybe adding another? I know i will have to raise the intensity. Trying to use what i have already.
 
You'd be good if you add a second. One alone won't do it. I have one 360 over my 50g cube and it is just enough to cover it.
 
Thanks, that's what i was thinking. Is it more just the spread?
 
The spread on the 180 is 18x18 and the 360 is 24x24. If I had to do it over, I might go with two 180s over my tank. You may still have some front to back issues but you can mount them a little higher.
