Hi,
I have upgraded from a small 37L(10g) cube to a custom tank, the dimensions of the new tank is 84(L)x44(w)x44(h) in centimeters, roughly 33inx17inx17in -- Can see photos/more info in build thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/dopeys-reef.631917 .
On the 37L tank I had a single AI Prime HD.
I am considering a couple options:
Since the tank is custom I would either need to us T5 lights that are a bit too short (24in/60cm) or too long (36in/90cm). I think a bit shorter is better than having lights hang off the ends?
Would either of these solutions work? Would you suggest something else?
I don't have any concrete plans on how this tank will develop over time. Today(from the 37L) it has mainly softies(zoas, shrooms, gsp, hammerhead) and a candycane. Current thought is to move the candycane/hammerhead to another rock and let the 37L rock just evolve.. Moving Zoas/Shrooms/gsp feels nearly impossible -- There is space between the GSP rock and other rock structures. It will not be allowed to escape to the new rockwork
Have not given much thought to any new additions yet nor plan to make any in the coming couple months as the new tank stabilizes from the upgrade.
Thanks!

I am considering a couple options:
- T5 Aquatic lights 24" T5/LED Hybrid using my existing AI Prime in the center.
- Buy a second AI Prime HD -- Having two AI Prime HD equally across the tank
