Good morning I’m looking to getting my lighting started for this tank. I plan on making it sps dominated. The tank dimensions are 23.6 x23.6 X 19.7. Can I add two xr 15 g5 blues or should I do one xr30 g5 blue to this tank?

One XR30 G5 alone won't be enough. It is barely enough on my IM25 acro dominant tank. Two XR15 G5 might get you there is terms of PAR, but won't be sufficient to eliminate all shadows.

Best would be to start with either options and add two AI Blade LEDs. This add on is only required once the frags grow into mini colonies.

Btw, the tank dimensions are 30" x 23.6" x 16.1".
