24” spread lights?

Would 2 160w kessils light a 2ft tank? Or would 1 360w be better? It will be a mixed reef so enough light for sps down the road is a must(I am ok with keeping them high in tank). Just not sure on the spread on the newer leds. My last tank was 18" and my 2 150's were perfect. Thanks in advance! New setup coming soon!

I would go with 1x 360 instead of 2x 160's.

Thanks!. I ended up just trying a prime out, and it actually is covering my tank well with my aquascape. The plan is to add another when I get the tank matured and move to harder coral.

I know you've already went with the prime but, you may want to consider the new Kessil a360x as it has great spread.

I have used kessil 360 for years with good results and good spread

metal halide best spread 24 x 24 imo

Yeah I considered a 360x, as I had great success with kessil on my last tank, but my Lfs had some primes local and I figured I would try them. Still only running 1 and it’s been flawless so far and covering what I need. If I get to the point where i need more light, I will add the 2nd
