Light shopping for Waterbox 190.5, want to run SPS, LPS, and Softies. Been thinking about 3 Hydra Edge 68’s but haven’t seen a lot of people use them. Thoughts?
 
I have seen the Hydra Edge in person. It's a good looking light! But for nearly the same money you can go with the Maxspect Ethereal Infinite 230 where each light packs an additional 100w.
 
My recommendation is 4 light bars of your choice. This is the best blanket coverage for sps. I am using GHL Light Bar 3 140cm but 4ft Quanta Helix are also a great choice.
