How many ai hydra 26s do you suggest on a 6”/2”/2” 180 gallon tank. I currently have 2 on my 90 gallon but just upgraded tanks and was wondering how many more i would need for the 180 i just upgraded to. Thank you!

I would say 3 if you plan to keep lower light corals, but if you want an sps dominated tank then I would get 4-6 to get higher par and less shading of coral.

Here is a video I found for the light you're using. It can help gauge how you want to light your tank.
