Was hoping to get some help on Recommendations for lighting. I have a 60x 26 D x 24 H tank currently running 3 hydra AI 64 lights ans hopes is to move in an SPS dominant tanks. I guess my question is are these sufficient? I have a good amount of shadowing and was concerned about PAR coverage. Thought about going to 2 Stratton X or consider flanking the hydra with blades? Also didn’t want to add more power plugs if I didn’t have to. Any help and recs would be huge!! All the best to fellow reefers
 
I would think 3 over a 5 ft tank would be okay. I would probably ad a set of 48" bars to help with shadowing a bit and give it a little more punch.

You already own them and they are proven good lights. you probably have them set like you like also so no reason to throw money at a completely new system

I have no experience with blades. sure other will chime in
 
Thank you for your reply and recs greatly appreciated!
