about a month ago bought some Hydras and Director and still happy, but since been reading about the Rapid LED Onyx, good reviews, 100 bucks cheaper than Sols/Hydras

You might get away with two fixtures, depending on what you want to keep.

I have two led light fixtures similar to the evergrows over my 6 ft tank and they are perfect. Not full complete coverage over all tank, but find that great as i can put low light soft corals where light is a little dim- at sides of tank, and have my high light sps corals in the bright sections.
I am running blue, red,violet,green leds at about 80% power and the whites at about 60%.

Great growth and color from them, great price.

2 x Hydra 52 would suffice.

From actual experience and not from what some newbie who read about LEDS

I have been running 4 Sols for 2 years and was always looking for those colors that make my corals pop. No luck at all as I wanted to stay with LED. I decided to give the Hydras a try. Why not since there just another cheap AI beginner LED fixture to some. Cuz you get what you pay for Bahahaha. Anyways that sooo fixed my color pop. I added 2 of them to the mix. You will be pretty happy with the Hydras. No offense to all the DIY guys but I've never seen a nice looking DIY fixture. Good if you have a canopy and can hide the industrial look.

Those are looking pretty tempting! I have a single Radion G2 over my 29g but I'm looking to move up to a 36" x 24" tank in the spring so I'll need 2 fixtures. Trying to decide about getting another Radion or selling it and buying 2 Hydra 52's.

best price to output will be Evergrows D120 as you can get 24"x24" coverage with each for under $200. Been running mine for a long while now and have great growth and color.

Huh evergrows are cheap . Maybe il buy two and put one on each end and my sol in the middle :p see how that works
