Hi guys, I'm probably overthinking this but here goes. Currently have a reefer 250 and I'm having success with 'easier' sps (digitata, stylo, various montiporas, bali slimer etc) and want to move into some of the nicer/more challenging acros and don't want lighting to be a limiting factor. My lighting at the moment is 2 hydra 26hds in an aquatic life hybrid running 4 39w t5 tubes. Would you guys say thats ok or do I need to add to/change my lighting set up? Par on the majority of my rock is around the 350ish mark.

Seems like you should be fine based on your current lights and the success of the current corals. I would add a couple frags of your preferred acros to start and see how they do. Most likely they will be fine as far as your lights are concerned.

Thanks guys, flow is 2 ai nero 5 so plenty of flow. I was thinking of going for 3 radion xr15 g5 pro to put in the hybrid but I don't want to throw money away unless I need to for what I want to achieve.
