Hello,
I bought 3 Hydra 32's with plans of setting up a 125 gallon reef tank but I ended up going with a new Marineland 120 instead of using my 125 gallon.
I am new to reefing i only have setup a few small tanks and I need some advise with setting up the lighting on my new tank. Most of the current coral I have is soft corals/LPS with some of the easier SPS corals but i find that I have trouble growing some of them in the small 13.5.
How do I place these hydras? I added some layouts below maybe I'm on the right track maybe I'm not just looking for some of the vets to weigh in and help me out
The tank has a large brace in the center so I'm not sure if this will effect the lighting i have to assume it will but to what extent i don't know.
Option 1
Only use two Hydras
Option 2
Use all three just set two vertical ?
Option 3
Use 2 and get some fill lighting
Option 4
Use all 3 and get fill lighting
