Need help with lighting 150g SC aquarium

[general0]

I have a 60x24x24 (150g) SC Aquarium and currently plan on using two AI Hydra 26's and 1 Vega Color. My first question is will these be able to work together on the Director? Secondly would this be enough light for my setup if I want to have SPS anywhere in the tank?

My setup is a I wall build so I'm not worried about how it will look though my OCD (which has also prevented me from moving to fast in my build, lol) is giving me the idea to purchase two more 26's of add the 4 T5 retro fit kit I have to the mix.

Here is the build so far, I'm getting all the electrical done right now and all outlets will be GFCI once completed with the aquarium on its own dedicated two 20 amp circuits.

Hello, as far as I know, Director is compatible with Sol, Vega and Hydra, so yes should work.
If I where you, I will sell the Vega, and get 3 Hydra 52 for that tank 2 should work too (as you planned with 2 26 and 1 vega)

Thanks! I do want to have a bit more flexibility with my lighting but I think your right and I'll grab a couple more 26's and keep the Vega instead of using the T5! I'm guessing I'll start with two more and go from there!

+1 to 3x hydra 52's or go with your current plan and add a 2 bulb t5ho on each side of the LED's. This currently seems to be the optimal setup for SPS and LED users.
