How many OR4s are you running?

Hello everyone

So, I have one AI blade grow 30’’ for my 65g (36” by 18” by 24”). It’s running on the basic softies and lps mode that’s built in to the app. I want to make an upgrade. I know the blades are generally good supplementary lights, so I want to add some more lights in addition to the blade. Right now I’m keeping softies and some easy lps, but I want to move into some harder lps and easy sps in the future.

Would an AI blade glow be sufficient? I know that would be a lot of blue and violet with not a lot of white. Another concern I have is that my tank has a big support beam in the middle of the lid, (this is why I went with a bar light) so I would probably need two lights to get full coverage. I would like to keep the budget under around 500$ but if it goes over it’s fine.

Any suggestions would be awesome!!

Add one smatfarm G5 or G6 in the middle and have the blade(s) run also. That would probably look great! And you’d be in $140-175 depending on the light you choose.
