So I recently got my Max Nano XXL running and I wondering if the two reefled 60s with be enough for sps/acros in top half of the tank along or if adding a 30” blade will push me over the par I need for the acros (that’s what I’m most worried about. From what I can see I should be getting about 250 to 300 par on the top of my rocks but I’m worried the middle of my scape will be underlit.

I want this to be mostly sps so I know I will have to add lights eventually. Just want to know if I need the blade straight of the gates.

I'm running a single Reef LED 60 at 50% for LPS/softies and I wouldn't dare go any more than that, I think you'll be fine with SPS running it at full capacity. You can add a AI blade at an angle to take care of some shaded spots if you want
