Hi, I recently bought a red sea reefer 450 and was looking into some lighting options. So far I have decided on buying Aqua illumination lights however I need some reassurance before I buy. For those who aren't familiar with the dimension they are L 60", W 20", H 22". I want to buy two hydra 64's and mount them horizontally. Is that enough light? any advice helps:) BTW it will be a mixed reef with a decent amount of sps corals.
 
You might be better off with 3 hydra 32 lights. This would help distribute the light more evenly. Using three fixtures with the four blue and purple channels at max will be great. I recommend that and then with little to no red, however much white is appealing to you, and then whatever green you can fit into the remaining watts
