I am purchasing a tank measurements 36L x 22W x 22h just wandering which ati would you recommend going to be mostly sps and would you go 8 or 6 bulb I plan on using 2 reefbrite strips as well. Thank you for you recommendations

If you’re using 2 ReefBrite strips, 6 bulbs work work fine. However, get the 36” fixture, not the 24”.

Agreed, 36” fixture would be the best option. 6-Bulbs with or without ReefBrites would honestly be fine. Of course more the better.

If budget isn’t an issue for lighting, absolutely go for the ATI 8x39 with ReefBrites

Running an ATI 6x54 over my 120 (4x2x2) with amazing growth all over the tank with my Acropora. Would’ve opted for the 8-Bulb but the Eurobrace would’ve made extra 2 bulbs useless.

Either way, you’ll be able to grow SPS all over

6 bulbs with the the reefbrite strips will be plenty. However, I'd get the 8 bulb fixture anyway, as it's not a large price difference between the fixtures. You can always choose to run less than the 8 bulbs, but having the extra slots gives you a lot more flexibility in tailoring your T5 bulb combinations and how you run them.

A 36" 6 bulb fixture is great for just about any corals. BRS did a PAR study and though the 6 bulb is great.
