I am getting a new tank, and need help!
I have 6 noopsyche K7 pros. I want to add them to the 61” T5 led hybrid fixture from aquatic life.
Will this work for the tank?
Tank is 72” long, 30” wide, 24” tall.
I want to keep full sps and clams. The lights will be hung from the ceiling.

It should work if the noopsyche's dimensionally fit inside the hybrid. Height of the fixture will determine how much shadowing you will have on the corners of the tank.

Ok.
I am going to mount 4 inside the fixture, and one on each end to limit shadowing.
