DX18 T5 Hybrid Coverage

[DocRose]

Looking for anyone's thoughts or experience. Will a 48" light provide end-to-end coverage on a Red Sea Reefer XL 525? Or will I have to go with a 24" and a 36"? (They don't make this fixture longer than the 48" length by the way.) The tank has dimensions of 59" long with a width of 22.6".

EDIT - Is going to be a mixed reef by the way!

It's not dimmable like the DX18.

Ah , I just change the LEDs to create the look I'm going for .the 48" would probably get you pretty close depending on height though

Bump. Still looking for advice on this, and need it fast. Want to order my tank before they're sold out again; but I want to order the light at the same time. Question again is will a 48" light be able to fully cover a 60" long tank?
