I have a question regarding the light itself, its quality, and the number of lights for my system. I have a 125-gal tank, and the reason I am looking at Orphek bars is because they would fit nicely under my low canopy. I currently have ViparSpectra lights, I looked for a cheap replacement for my hydras when they died of old age. I don't want to keep them, I want more control of my tank. My plan is to 3x OR3 150 Osix. I am planning on keeping mostly softies with maybe some LPS later on for more movement in the tank. I want to push two bars to the sides and have one bar connecting them in the middle. I know that the distribution of light will be uneven, but I am wondering if the area that all three bars overlap will be sufficient for LPS. They would be about 3 inches, maybe 4 at best above the water surface ( it's a completely covered acrylic tank). I don't have any corals in my tank right now, so I don't have an opinion regarding the lights in the tank at the moment.
 
Nice lights
 
I have a standard 125 gallon. I run two OR3 150s and a OR3 120. They are all centered and have zero issues. i need to update it but Check out my build thread.
