How many LED fixtures?

[jformani]

I'm thinking about moving to LED's. How many fixtures would you put over a tank thats 60 x 30 x 10? Additionally what would you say is the correct height for LPS corals? Thanks again

it would depend on what fixture you are planning on using

absolutely depends on what LEDs you're using. are you looking at a diy kit? radions? AIs? All are completely different animals. What kind of price point are you looking at and how much controllability (is that a word?) do you want built in to the lights? All make a big difference.

I'm not sure on what fixure yet. I was leaning toward the taotronics fixtures as i didnt think having a 10" high tank I would need radions or ai's? With such a shallow tank I'm thinking of raising the fixtures a couple feet above the tank and hoping that will help spread the light. I just dont want to overkill this and was thinking 3 fixtures was extreme but wanted everyone's opinions?
