I have two frag tanks I just got set up and I need to get some lights ordered. What lights would you all recommend? I have Ai blades, prime, and edge on a few tanks and radions on another tank currently that I have experience with. I’ve been looking at ATI lights or Reef Breeders meridians to get better spread but I don’t have experience with them. Here are the two tanks. Small one is 50”x32” and bigger one is 80”x32”.

I would stick with AI hydra primes. Easy to place, adjust for intensity and coverage. Super easy to setup via the app and if you ever want to get rid of them, people are always looking to buy them. (i bought one for my first nano tank and just bought extra with every upgrade.) Saved me a lot of money as I didn’t have to throw anything away
