Tank is 100 gallon with ext overflow

Tank Dimensions - 47.3" L x 23.6" W x 19.7" H

I currently have 2 Ecotech radion xr15 G6 blues and figured that was plenty since their max spread is 24x24

LPS and softies only tank so assumed 2 would be enough

just looking for opinions
Thanks

They wouldn't have been my first choice if buying new. But, since you have them and probably like them, I would start with them. It's likely okay for LPS. You can always add a bar or two of some kind later also.

Yeah I already had them
But a light bar isn’t an option because I’m hanging them for a nice clean look
Picture included is how I’m hanging them
