I was wondering if 2 Hydra 26 units on a reefer 170 is over kill?? I have excellent growth but a lot of shadowing( I know that comes with the led territory)
I was also thinking about buying a 24 inch ATI fixture and gutting the middle and placing a 26 in there!!!

Any suggestions???

Maybe something like this but with one unit.

I don't think is overkill, I run 2 ai prime hd on a 20 gal fusion. Added the second ine because of the same shadowing at the edges of my tank.
 
Why not buy one of those plant grow t5 fixtures andput the hydra 26 in the middle instead of an ati. Ati is expensive when it comes to using it for retrofit.
