Three XR15 Placement Spacing

[TJAVOREK]

What would people say is the correct spacing for three XR15 across a 4 foot tank? I currently have them equally spaced along the back, should they be closer together/farther apart?

Looks good to me. I dont think you will have any issues at the ends of the tank since you have 3.

Thanks I want to order a custom lid and need to make a final decision on the cutouts for the light mounts

You will probably be fine, without a par meter it can be hard on the spacing. Here's a videos BRS did, it should help you some and explain the spacing a little as well.

With your present aquascape you might want to have two lights more to the left and the one more to right. Leaving the middle space for lower par corals.

It’s all going to depend on how you fill the tank and with what. Leave them evenly spaced for now for visual estheticsand adjust when you know what coral you’ll have.

You could get an RMS rail. Then you can move them based on your needs.

Funny you should mention that, I actually got two lights and mounts first and then later grabbed the third. I thought about the rail but couldn’t return the first two mounts.

You can use 2 mounts to attach the rail to the tank.
