Lighting question for 240 Gallon - 8x2x2

[k2-]

Hey Guys,
I am building my 240 Gallon 8X2X2 reef tank. I am planning to use 2 Reef brites - hybrid fixtures - 48 inch to light up this tank. This tank is going to host most of my SPS and more .

For T5's : I am planning to use 2x KZ Coral Light II New Generation T5 Lamp and 2 X ATI True Actinic 03 per fixture.
For LED lights - I plan to use 1 AI 64HD and 1 AI 32 HD Per fixture

Question 1: Any feedback on the T5 selection ?
Question 2: What should be an ideal addition to this setup for LED's ? (more of AI Hydra's or mix with other form of lights ?

Question 3 : if you have similar dimension tank please do share what are you using for lighthing up your tank for SPS.

I would probably place both 64 Hydras in the center with the 32 Hydras on the edges (this is kind of how I have my LEDs arranged on my tank).

You are planning a very solid setup. Personally with all the blue LEDs. I would sub in an ATI blue plus for the actinic.

I’m running T5, orphek bars, and Reefi fixtures in my 6 foot 135.

Pics are with T5 off.

I might have to use them on the edges as my rockscape (pictures are in my build thread) I would like it to be highly lit as this is going to host most of my acros.

Thanks , I intend to lover Actinic (infact before any other light 2 slots of actinic were booked - my first choice ) , it could be that my eyes have bias. However i attribute them to growth in my tank ..
