AI Hydra 52 HD question

[Tuan Black]

Just a simple question. I have 3 AI Hydra 52 Hd's on a 180g 72x24x24 is that enough light, 11 inches from water. Thinking about buying one more just to be on the safe side for sps corals. Just want to know if I'm ok or go ahead and get one more.

You will be fine with 3 but 4 would be better especially if you are planning SPS. I use two of the exact lights on a 36" tank so every 18 inches.

You can add SPS acro without adding a 4th light. How long as your tank been up?

The most important thing with SPS is stable parameters.

I have 3 hydra 52HDs over my 60" tank. If I had a 72" I'd definitely run 4. And I also supplement with T5.
