Hello all! I have purchased a DBP 30g franc tank as my display. I am set on getting AI lighting over radion due to price and controllability. My question is do I purchase the Hydra hd 26 or 52 over the 24x24x12 tank?
 
I think you should try 2 hydras 26 and set them so the pucks are front to back to get good coverage on the 24x24 area.
 
What about 2 AI Prime HD's? I love these lights!
 
Here it is

I think the primes might give a disco ball effect. And 2 AI26 would be the same as buying 1 AI52 wouldn't it?
 
Having two would let you position them in a way to get better coverage instead of just having 4 in a straight line
