If you plan on having a few pieces Acropora on the top and just some sps like Stylophora, monti then go for 3-4. If you want more Acro then 5-6 or better yet get 4 k7lights and use t5's as supplementation.
I am running 3 and that is overkill on my tank but I didn't want to use t5's as a supplement to the led so I went with the extra fixture .
Getting back on topic I will post some new pictures this week.

Was the video at full brightness or what setting do you operate them at?

The video is shot with a 15k lens cover to take out the blue.
My settings at that time of day was
A:10%= white
b:75%= light blue
c:90%= dark blue
d:70%=UV
e:6%=green/red

Yes that is it. I think it is time to try some acropora as the tank is really stable right now with my alk at 8.1 every day at 3pm.

Yup, I reckon you should get some in there. Thank you for the research. I've got a single over a 17" not a cube, light to sand is 27" and @ 2/3rds power ab+. I will bump up the d channel maybe. Nice tank and video! My little frags are happy with the light.

Ouch!! I had dinos early on and got rid of them pretty fast cause they were ostreopsis so easily killed by a monster UV. I am showing some tiny,tiny bubble algae so that is my next battle.

I have been sort of doing some thinking about this thread-
Since I have a thread on my tank where people can see what lights I have and make judgments for themselves. Is there a need to keep this thread going as it feels like I am just double posting?

If you want to nuke the thread, it is yours. There is some insight to some settings and important things on the posts. I have a frag that needs saving that I can add to this post through time. Let me get some pics of it, and at the least, provide a link to your other page for a clean breakup.

What I bought:
What I received :
And what it is four days later:
It still has skin on it, but going to be a project piece for sure. I give it an hour or two in some flow, then back to the sand bed in low light and reduced flow so it doesn't shed what's left. Haven't seen a polyp yet in four days. We'll see what happens.
