Hello everybody,
I am finally going to upgrade to a bigger reef tank. I currently have a BioCube 32, and running an Aquatic Life 24” T5/LED Hybrid. I am upgrading to a 4 foot long tank. I was wondering if I could use the same fixture, buy an additional one, or if I should buy a longer one. I am still in planning phase, and looking for advice

I plan on having primarily softies and LPS corals, with maybe a couple of SPS.
 
You could add a 2nd 24in t5 or if you want more streamline look get a 4ft. But either would work. I run a 4ft 4bulb t5 over my 65g cube the extra light hang over is over my frag tank. I can grow anything and have pretty fast growth.
