Hey guys i'm definitely going to go with the aqua illumination lights. I have a 75 gallon tank which is 48 x18x21 and I was wondering which of the three lights I need and how many. Either the vega hydra 52 or hydra 26. There very expensive so i was looking at the hydra 26s because they r the cheapest. Will I be able to get away with 2 hydra 26s for my tank? Will that be enough? Thanks for your replys!

It depends on what you want to grow, but generally I would say two would be enough for most coral. Might have to run them at near 100%, instead of the 40-60% that many lights are run at.

I have 3x 26's /w contoller I am going to be putting up for sale in the sell forums if you are interested. Shoot me a PM if you are, you dont need to buy all 3.
They will work just fine in a 75g unless you want to go full blown SPS. and if that is the case you are better off with MH or t5ho or both =/

Go with the 26's. More than enough for SPS or anything else you could ever want. IMO I would go with 3 for SPS, 2 for mixed tank. FWIW I am running 4 of the 26's over my 120, 48x24x24 and am very happy with them. Don't get the 52's, you are better getting 2 units of 26 rather than 1 52 unless the tank is really deep. I would take the 26's over any MH or t5ho for SPS and clams.
