Going to start adding some Acro's in my reefer. Im going to build a ledge to place them 2/3 of the way up the tank in the middle.

I have 2 neptune sky lights on the sides and one Kessil A160 in the middle. If I get another A160 and have them both point to the center would that be enough?

See the image below for my propposal. I dont want to spend a huge amount of $$ and I really love the shimmer of Kessil (SKY has no shimmer) The a360's cost a ton and Im thinking the spread of 2 160's would be better than one a360.

yes, it will be enough. The SPS in my frag tank thive under 250-300 PAR, I'm sure you have that or more under your lighting setup.
 
Do you know how much PAR you getting

no I dont have a meter. Im assuming SPS 12 or so inches from a couple of 160's would be 300+, also like the idea of par coming from different directions.
