Ive had saltwater tanks for a little over a year now with my wife. We pulled the trigger on the reefer 525! Please stay tuned for updates and pictures. Im sure I will have some questions along the way too.

Do you think three is going to be enough coverage? When I ran my Hydras I had them running front to back (if that makes sense) for even spread, but 3 units wasnt enough for a 5' tank - at least not without some heavy shadows. Still, it could work depending on how high up they are mounted. What kind of reef are you thinking?

I was thinking they would work.... Haha I was going to order a clear view lid because I was confident in the three Hydra 26's. I am planning on haveing some lps corals.
