I would like lighting recommendations for a 72''x24''x24'' 180g display. It will be mainly a fish plus LPS. I've had my tank up for about six years mainly as a FOWLR. I have Kessil A360WE's that are begining to fail. Two failed so far. So far I've looked at the Kessil A360x, Radon XR15 and Radon XR30. Would like opinions on which ones and how many for the tank.

Thank you.

Lps dominant tank, id probably do 3-xr15’s. You don’t need blanket front to back end to end coverage and 400+ par for lps dominant.
