I have the EXT 75 and this is the UV OR2 60. Really makes the colors stand out

Have you considered adding the Aquatic Life Hybrid. I have the same tank as you and have the AL hybrid with 2 Hydra 26HD. The addition of the T5's really helped to eliminate shadowing and even out the coverage in the entire tank.

The same for me. Have 4 kessil 160's over my 75g but I didn't like the shadowing. Once I added the hybrid fixture it helped even the coverage.

Here's mine in a diy floating canopy. Those patches on the wall are from the brackets for the lights before the canopy was built, still need to paint the wall.
