Waterbox 110 Lighting - How many AI 16HDs?

[BiggDirty]

Hey guys, just starting to get my
lighting configured on my waterbox 110. I already have two AI 16HDs, but I’m pretty sure this is not going to be enough lighting. I was planning to do a mixed reef, but with mostly LPS and softies, but would like the option to put in a bit of SPS.

Just looking to see what other 110 owners are using for lighting? Particularly - is there anyone running 4 - AI 16HDs? Would this be enough for what I’m looking to do.

I am getting my hands on a par meter today to confirm what I’m actually at.

Thanks!

Im running 2 XR30s clones with lens kit on my SPS dominate tank.

I would at least run 4 AI16HD

The 16 hd's are very underpowered and I would recommend getting something else. You would struggle with Sps without stronger lights. There are a ton of options

The standard would be 2 XR 30's
Good alternative would be a couple reefi uno2's- one of these is 4 times the power of the 16.
Lots of good lights but you will want at least 150 watts over each 2 ft section.
Budget options
2 noopsyche v3
2 XR clones
