Back reefing! 36inch light recommendation please

[cab5er]

Hi all,
Took a massive break after moving overseas. Finally settled down and bought a house. Anyways the space I have allows for a 36x18x20 tank LxWxH, I used MH with VHOs back in the day. I see LEDs are all the rage now. I've been doing some research. Looking at maybe two xr15s, would ideally not supplement with t5s if I can. Or how's the Kessil ap700 for this tank size? Setting up mixed reef like before. With sps on top of the rock work and softies,lps in mid and lower regions of tank. Post some pictures of 36 inch long tanks with LED
Setups if u can. Thx!

I think 2 XR15’s would cut it for you. I have 2 XR30 pros over a 120 and couldn’t be happier. T5’s would definitely help but I don’t feel it’s needed.

AI hydra 26 x2 length ways plus 2 x 2 bulb T5HO fittings either side = amazing

24 x 18 cube one Hydra 26 and T5's The T5's are not needed, but I like the way they remove shadows and gives the tank a more overall blended light.

Kinda helps to read the whole post doesn't it! I assumed it was 24 wide. Possible to do it with 1 T5HO each side but yeah not really gonna work with the width

Take a look at the Reefbreeders Photon v2. Nice light for the $$.
