8’ tank lighting

[hondacbr600rr]

I’m upgrading to an 8’x 30” deep x24” tall tank, and looking to determine my light upgrades.

I currently have 3- Gen 5 XR30 pros on my 150 gallon. Would 1 more XR 30 be enough for total of 4? Will be a mixed reef with majority LPS & SPS.

I had the same size tank and was running 5 noopsyche k7s

Worked good for anemones and LPs.

Planned on adding 2 more to go sps

Depends on rock and coral placement. 4 xr30s arent going to put a ton of light on a tank that size. Some led bars supplementation would probably be the least expensive route
