So I have the aquatic life hybrid light fixture, 61". I currently have 4AI SOL blue units running with ati bulbs.they work, but I'm not seeing the growth that I'm seeing from the same fixture in my other tank that is running radions/ati. I want to get new LEDs. My question is which setup would you guys/gals go with? Here are a couple of my options that would work with the aquatic life fixture:
1. 4 AI 26'S
2. 4 Kessils 360
3. 4 AI primes
4. 2 AI 52'S
5. 2 RADION XR 30
6. 4 XR 15's
I think 4 smaller units will give better coverage over my 150 gallon tank, but wondering what your opinions are. I have a mixed reef with quite a few sps right now. Obviously, 4 full size led units would be optimal but I don't want to spend a million bucks either. Thanks

I have gone with kessils but my main goal was simplicity. I love them and I only have 3 on my 180. I run them at 100%.

You only have 3 on a 180? Wow, what kind of corals do you have? Kessils are definitely on my watch list

I have a mixed reef with several SPS. I will add that i do have a 4' two bulb t5 fixture as well. The nice thing about the kessils is that you can add more if you want in the future.
