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.
 
Perfect thank you because originally when buying the lights i bought 3 to have one as a backup so looks like i lucked out there lol!

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