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 see how that works

Thanks for all the input everyone.

Also you can pick up used radion Gen 1s for around 300-350/unit I think these days. I've got 8 of those on my tank and they've done me right, you can check out the last few pages of my build thread if you want to see what 18 months of them will do.

There's lots of options, options that expand drastically if you're willing to shop around for second hand merch.
