Would two kessil 160s be enough on a 75 gallon mix reef no SPS
 
I would go 360s over a 75. 160s may have trouble getting the par you need near the bottom
 
What’s the dimensions of your tank?

Light Spread/Coverage
  • A160WE will cover a 12” - 24” area, at a height of 12” - 24” off the surface of the water respectively

48x18x21
 
I would do 3 of the Kessil 360x over that tank. You could start with 2 and that may be enough. Maybe not as corals grow or you get shadowing. I run 4 above my 48” 120.
 
The Kessil A160WE is 50 watts. I have them. I upgraded to a A360 for a LPS tank. And an A500 for an SPS tank. The 160's just didn't produce enough par.

Thank you that’s what I kind of figured
