@Marco@GHLUSA and @Vinny@GHLUSA will need to confirm
But I believe you would need
2 power supplies based on the lights your purchasing (based on total wattage of the lights plugging in)
2 Mitras-LB-Splitter
1 Mitras-LB-Active-Splitter 2
2 Mitras-LB-RJ45 cables
Oh and then your light bars
3 light bars would go into one lb-splitter with a power supply rated for the 3 lights
2 light bars would go into the second lb-splitter with a power supply rated for the 2 lights.
The two LB-splinters would then go into the LB-Active Splitter 2. What I do not know the connection is from the LB-Active Splitter 2 to the P4. I am thinking a PAB.

Hi Pete,
@Ditto has the right idea.
In order to connect more than 4 LB2, you would need the Mitras-LB-ActiveSplitter 2 which can be found here:
https://www.aquariumcomputer.com/usa/product/mitras-lb-active-splitter-2/
This accessory already comes with the neccessary cable to connect the ActiveSplitter to the P4 and 2x cables for connecting to the 2x LB-splitters you would need.
As long as you have the correctly sized PSU for each splitter, you will be good to go!
