Lighting for a 60" Mixed Reef Tank

[Lindebrah]

Hi there,

I am wondering what lighting would be best for a 60x12x12 mixed reef tank. I am thinking about doing 4x AI Prime 16HD's. Would anyone recommend anything different? Thanks

Should work out fine. You can always add a 5th one years later when it fills in if need be. I gotta say those are going to be tough dimensions to work with. I curse only having 18" of width all the time in my 60x18x24.

Ah, really? I'm new to the hobby and love the look of a long, skinny tank. Any reason why it would get annoying to work with?
