Lighting for 40 breeder

[ZachR32]

I've done a lot of research on the best lighting for this size tank, and I still can't decide what will work best.
Radions are out of the question, and while I do like the Chinese black boxes, I don't have a way to hang them high enough for the best spread on their own.
I'm considering the new aquatic life t5 hybrid fixture. I would either use some Chinese boxes with that if I can build an adaptor for the fixture, or get some AI prime hd's.
Anyone have advice on what would be best? Or anyone at least have experience with the AI Prime hd? Any help is greatly appreciated. Going to be a mixed reef, sps, clams, etc

I had a pair of Kessil A360's over my 40 breeder and that worked pretty well. Not sure your budget but if you could do a pair of A360's mixed with the Aquatic Life T5 hybrid that would be optimal.

I like the kessils, just didn't know if I could go cheaper with similar controllability still lol. I might just end up getting some kessils and retrofitting the rest if the AI prime just won't cut it even with t5 supplements
