Hi
Looking for advice on the Tmc ilumenair V2 1200 lights, I have just bought the red sea 3 XL900 reef tank, it will be a mixed reef tank, will 2x ilumenair 1200 be OK for a mixed coral tank?

Depends on how you mount them and if youre ok with the light spread once dialed in on intensity.
Theyre 215w a piece so plenty capible.... i just dont know the spread and par specs.
I run my leds at like 50% and its plenty of light still.
I think it will be fine as youll need some lower lit areas for mixed reef.
