So I've narrowed down my search to a couple of options but need help deciding.

I have a 32w x 24d x 24t tank that I'm trying to light. I want great growth and little to no shadowing. Here are my options. Help me decide, price is a consideration:

AI Hydra 52hd with mount for$450
(2) AI Hydra 26hd's with mounts $600
(2) Noopsyche K7 Pros with mounts $415

I'm leaning towards the two light option but am on the fence about it. Thanks!
 
Any of the above will work. You will get arguments for each largely based on what people have on their own tanks. I am an Orphek person so can objectively say that if it were me I would go with the 52hd.
 
Although I'm a Hydra man. I would suggest a T5 hybrid. Shadowing wouldn't be an issue. You could run your Hydras and diy or buy a T5 fixture. Humble thoughts.
 
I have both the ai 26 and noopsyche lights and... I hate the controller for the noopsyche. I really like my hydras so of the cost savings isn't that big of a deal I would go with them.
