Need help with number of LEDS needed for tank

[Reefpro]

swifching from t5 to led. My tank is 60"x32" and 24" deep I have available to me 6 new OR T247 AND 4 RAPID LED coronas. My question is how many units would you use and what configuration (i.e. Three rows, two rows, etc)

Thanks for imput

I would do 4 columns. Like this |:| |:| |:| |:| Instead of = = = =

Sorry, i thought the OR was a T5 unit LOL... Hmmm thats a lot of lighting

I like the Coronas but they don't have any manual buttons. So keep that in consideration. The OR might work out but they have an awkward shape.

I have thecoronas set up on fish bit Would 6 or t247 and 3 corona be overkill

If you are going the sps route, coverage is the concern. If it where my tank, either 4 coronas or 1 OR and 1 corona on each side. Though, I'm not sure how they perform side by side. Otherwise 3 OR would cover it plenty as well.

Sps dominant for your

I have the ability to put as few as four lights but concerned bout coversge. I currently have the ability to as many as 9 leds would this be complete over kill keeping in mind the tank is 60" long 32" wide and 24" deep?? If kyst a waste of money i open to any and all tjoughts

Are you doing 100% acro or having other corals?

Plenty of sps (non acro) that will not have as bad of shading issues and lps that can put on sides or the front. If doing 100% acro I would cover the surface in LEDs as much as possible, but it might take years before the acros are big enough to need that much coverage too.

All acro tank
