Lighting for 6 Foot Mixed Reef

[espieg]

Was wondering what your guys' opinion was on lighting narrower tanks. I have an 18 inch wide 6 foot tank and am unsure of what lights I should put on it. I want to have a mixed reef and am looking to spend under a thousand dollars. I'm currently looking at 3 AI hydra 32s, 4 AI primes, a 60 inch ATI Sunpower, or maybe 3 kessil a360xs. I'm not set in stone on anything and am looking for some friendly advice.
Thanks

Saltwateraquarium has the Kessil AP700 on clearance for 549 and you can use code SOLD for an addition 10% off.
So 2 of them would be 1061 after taxes and would give you the ability to do anything you wanted in that tank.
With this light on clearance it has to be one of the best lights for the money.
I use this light on a 75 gallon and love it.

Do you use only 1 on the 75 gallon? What do you have in your tank?

Look into reef brite luma pro or the HVO. Great quality and good prices

I only have one but have a mixture and it is a 4 foot tank. I think one over a 6 foot would look nice shimmer wise but you might have to place coral more under it. Brs has a good review and par ratings for the light online.

Two orphek would be perfect

I considered the A700 but I ultimately went with the A360X. I was going to use 3 but got a great deal on 4. My tank is also 72" wide x 24" deep and 19" tall. My choice for the A360X was that it was linkable, controllable and current technology. @Kessil has been ridiculously supportive and informative. The vendor has shown such humanity by supporting the reefing community in Texas. I am very happy that I went with Kessil.
FWIW... These are replacing dated AI fixtures on my soon to be retired 90 gallon. Side by side... no contest.
