Currently have 2 Kessil a160s over my Fluval 32 gallon. . . They are pretty great lights, but their spread leaves me a few dim spots in the middle (between the lights) and far sides of the tank. I have been thinking about adding a 3rd and spreading the coverage out. . . but maybe there is a better light with wider spread I could put in the middle?

If you were gonna add a light to the middle of my set up, what would it be?

Love Kessils, but they do need supplemental lighting. Check these out and search no more! I used the meso blues with my Kessil A360We's for a couple of years and loved the look. All corals looked great and grew! Get two of appropriate length and place them in front, and behind, your a160's.

Look like a good options, but tank is 32” long so I am looking at the 2’ options, and unfortunately most of the lights that size are not available. The meso “budget” option comes in that size, they any good?

Yes, the meso budget is a great light. That's the one I used. I've heard that stock will be coming back in soon. Research Quanta LED here on R2R and you'll see all the great feedback.
