How many AI led fixtures....

I am having a tank custom built that is 60x36x30 and I want to go with LED's. How many AI fixtures do you think I would need? My concern is the width of the tank.
 
I have a Marineland 300 DD and mine are mounted like the above, except in three rows of three.

Are you using the AI mounting rails or something else? Do you have picture of them?

I am using three 36" AI Rails sets (tank is 36" front to back). Here is a pic.

That's an awesome set up! i think ill start out with two rows of three and go from there. My tank will be a peninsula set up so my main concern is lighting the center. Now i need to decide on the sol or phoenix model. I looked at the ecotech radion but it seems way too expensive.

Waiting to see the spread info for the phoenix before deciding. I know the phoenix is supposed to be stronger but im very curious about the spread.

I think there will be another mounting option for the Phoenix instead of the wire hanger, like a solid rail. Don't know it the Sol is compatible with it or not.
 
Im probably about 3 moonths away from having to make a decision so hopefully there will be others that purchase the phoenix and post some feed back. I was also looking at the sfiligoi genesis led and while it looks amazing....it would run me almost $5k for the lights.

I was just told that the Sol fixture will still be the best bet for deeper tanks like the one I am planning because the "phoenix" will have a very even spread with no option for the 40 and 70 degree optics.
