So after thinking about how i want to hang my lights when my 2nd hydra 52 arrives ive come up with this.

I figured out if you have the 52s set up parallel to the length of the tank then the light shines from the middle out.

If you go perpendicular, you then have light shining from the edges inward allowing light to hit the side of the coral that you see from the front of the tank. If that makes sense.

Also since i have them i plan to ad the primes on the sides to add more width.

What do you guys think?

Going to wait till my next day off to mount the other lights, but im happy with my diy light rack.
