I have a 24x24x12 WB 45.2 tank with 2 spots on each side of the return to place a light mount. With the drop in price of the AI equipment I had considered purchasing a hydra 26 instead of 2 separate HD lights. What do you guys think? I plan to have soft corals and and BTA. Anyone have any ideas let me know! I love the AI app on my 10g so I wanted to stick with them on this tank.

Thanks!

I think one light would be good for your tank, so id go with the hydra if you want but a prime should be good two. Not sure how you will mount it on the back glass though unless you take the overflow lid off or modify it
