As someone who has owned both and also a hydra 26HD I’d venture either for 2 AI Primes or a Hydra 32HD. I currently have 2 XR15w G6 Pro’s and let me just say back when I had 2 Hydra 26HD’s over my 90 gallon there was nothing I couldn’t grow. I’d personally do 1 32HD to save on mount costs along and cheaper for one larger fixture than two smaller and with a sleeker and cleaner look along with you if you ever get a larger tank you can get a second one with more coverage than the primes put out.

I have both lights but would just add a second prime. The mobius app is annoying and buggy. They also have a ton of glare.

Two primes will get the job done with a better app and you can space them apart a little.

one 32 HD over this tank could be enough for a few sps?
