Would you run 3x Kessil A360 WE on a 49 gallon tank, 36x17x17 if the tank is SPS dominate? I currently have two running at 100%, and growth has been ok. Just curious if adding a third would help much.
 
Doubtful sps do not grow fast no matter how many lights you have, two is more than enough. I have kessils running on a tank that shares a sump with my t5 tank I notice no different in growth between the two
 
I would say 2.... each Kessil has a 24" coverage area....so you will be overlapping using 2....make sure where you overlap them that the SPS are very high light.
