I have 3 AI's in use over my 180. I have two 26's on the outside of an AI 32. When the 26's decide to no longer work then they will be replaced with 32's. I do have one 32 backup! Probably should look for another.

You asked for the picture o the lights. I should I taken a new one since most of the GHA is gone

Thank you @Sleeping Giant for the QOTD idea!

One piece of equipment that 99.9% of every saltwater reef aquarium hobbyist uses is LIGHTS! It's also no secret that the majority of reefers now choose LED lighting over other types of lighting. (not saying other types are not good options) But how many lights we have and what brand we are using are left up to our specific needs and taste! So let's light it up with some comments today!

I have a Waterbox FRAG 105.4: 48" x 24" x 16". I run two Kessil AP9X panels over an SPS dominant mixed reef. The tank is about 18 months old and is "officially" moved from stocking mode to grow-out mode.

Using 4 ATI Stratton and 3 Kessils A360X lights over a 8 foot 365G Reef Aqaurium. Verdict is till out on the Stratton lights - seem to be heavy on the white side - thank goodness I could tune themdown and also use the Kessils to crackup the blue.

 

[Yanos]

Ati hybrid 8x80w and two Mitras Lightbars 160 over 68x36x28 deep

 

[rc1626]

Standard 180 gallon 72×24×24
3 Philips CoralCare
2 ATI blue + T5
2 kessil a160 for shimmer

Running two red sea 160s. This far I have no complaints. I like the ease of the app and the straight forward approach. I am sure there are better lights out there, but for now they do the job.

 

[Spicy Reef]

I have 2 Viparspectras on the right and one Nicrew skyled plus that is currently off on the left for macro algae.
