I hear that the AI primes are good for this kind of tank but not sure if that is the best option. I do like the idea of a longer light that spans the length of the tank but I'm not completely stuck to the idea. I would need a light that will be able to grow everything from softies to sps. Price is not an issue. Thoughts?

If price is truly not an issue then go with the XR30 Pro. Otherwise grab 2x AI Prime or the Kessil AP700/AP9X. Any of those will take care of that tank.

a unique solution could be to get LED strips from Aliexpress. You could get 3x 470nm and 1x white/blue combo and would be set. That’s the only thing I I can think of where you’d have wall to wall lighting with LEDs.

I have an XR30 over a 24" long tank and wish I had 2x XR15's...
