Howdy,

I’m converting my 375 gallon tank back to saltwater. The open area is 22”x88”, wanting soft corals and LPS. I was considering 5 Kessil 360 or 5 Reefbreeders Photon V2+ 24” fixtures.

Here is the layout of the top of the tank and one from the front. Tank is 30” deep and 30” tall. If Kessils, I was thinking 5 in a straight row across. If Reefbreeders 24”, I was thinking two horizontal on each side and one horizontal in front of the overflow. Or, I could do all 5 perpendicular and waste some light on the 6”x30” overflow. Any insights appreciated!
