Prime or hydra?

[mattrob]

Hi all,

I'm getting a d-d aqua reef pro 900 soon and I'm trying to work out lighting.

I'm looking to set it up as a reef but fully expecting this to be lps / soft dominant and maybe grow into some spss further down the line.

Will 2 primes be sufficient? Or 3? Or 2 hydra 32s?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Hydras are pricy but to me produce some of the best colors. I run a primeHD. I dont know how the 16hd are. It all depends on how you want to see the corals. There are more options but either will grow healthy coral.

I run 3 hydra 32hds on a 4 foot tank. Sps for days
