if you would like to save money take a look, at nicrew hyperreef led, or you can also take a look at viparspectra.

I’m running a pair of XR30’s on the ends and a single XR15 in the center on my 750XXL (all G5s). Seems to be really good coverage and everything is happy.

4 AI Hydra 64 and or Ecotech Radeons

Either way run no more than 50% for 2 weeks then each week go up 10% but no higher than 80% ever with the exception of UV.

Mostly soft and LPS, but I’ve started adding an SPS here and there (chalice). I have a ton of zoas and palythoas (probably 20-25 frags and a few massive colonies), some ricordeas, mushrooms, a few torches, duncans, a fat tentacle, large torch colony and an elegance. I also have about 8 rock flowers, a few feather duster worms and 3 tube anemones. And then about 2 dozen fish in the mix.

61”
With 2 orphek or3 150 on each side
