I'm putting a second kessil on my AL t5 hybrid. Tank is 36x18x 24 what do you think would be the best placement? In your videos you do 24 and 48 inch tanks. Looked like keeping them a little closer to the ends than equidistant from the center gave better results.

We've not tested this particular scenario, but looking at some of the results from our A360X and comparing that to the A360WE, I think we can make a solid educated guess. The spacing below is what I'd start with. To get there, I just took the same spacing ratio and adjusted it for a 36" long tank. Of course, you can always use a par meter to make sure that you're getting the results that you expect.
Very good educated guess. I have 4 in a hybrid fixture over a 72” tank and they equate to about what you have shown. Works great, better par distribution for the WEs and no shadowing. Only thing is looking at it, the lights are almost to the end of the 61” fixture to get the proper spacing.We've not tested this particular scenario, but looking at some of the results from our A360X and comparing that to the A360WE, I think we can make a solid educated guess.

Pic to show coverage with the t5s off. And no the fixture isn’t bent. My phone hates blue light and does weird things.
