2 hydras probably not enough for a 6' long tank. Have to consider the the depth of the tank too..want good light coverage to the bottom of the tank as well.

Was considering changing from fowlr to reef and upgrading my lighting on a 125.

Was thinking about a t5/led fixture.

Read Angel's posts, the viparspectrum are at good price point. if you can fit the 30" one, get 2 of those.

T5/led come in a combination fixture, where u can mount a led fixture in the middle of the t5 bulbs. Pretty expensive though.

That sounds ideal but expensive is not my route

How many braces going across the top does it have? Think those have two so you have three openings?
