I am looking to setup a 90g tank. 48-1/2" L x 18-1/2" W x 25-3/8H

Considering going with the Arctic-S026 or Arctic-T247 LEDs. Would I need two or three of these to run a reef tank?

Lighting needs are almost entirely dependent on what you will be stocking the tank with. If you tell me a little more about what kind of fish, coral, and inverts you plan to keep, I can tell you a little more about the kinds of lighting that would match up.

well I am actually now going with a 210g tank its roughly 72x 24x 29 Right now i'm planning on using at least 3 Arctic S026 or T247s. I plan on having mainly fish Clowns, Tangs, Wrasses, gobies, Blennies, and maybe a mandarin. A standard CUC of snails, shrimp, and crabs. I currently plan on doing mainly zoas, anemones(maybe), and some softies. Easy to manage corals but If i decided to do more corals id like not to have to change my lighting to much. Hope this helps.

In that case I would go with the T247 because it's programmable and for that size tank you would want 3 at least
