Kessil A80 appropriate

[mymini]

Hi, I am looking for new lights where the display portion of my tank is 48 L x10 wide x 12 h (water line to top of sand). Currently I have 2 black boxes. I mostly have mushrooms, zoas, duncans, candy cane etc. I currently have 2 black boxes on top. I like the shimmer of Kessil's. Given how shallow my tank is I am thinking A80's about 4" above the water line and near or at full intensity. I believe I would need 2 or maybe 3 if I get too much shadows.

Something about this seems oddly familiar. Given the size of the tank I'd shoot for the A160's the A80's won't have enough power IMO.
