I am looking into doing Orphek lighting on my new aquarium set up. I will be doing a mixed reef of SPS / LPS and softies. I am wanting good mixture of daylight / growth and color.

I have the atlantic icon on a 75g, 4 foot tank. It lights it up pretty well. If i were going to 6 feet, id start with this, knowing that the high par was in the center,.lower par at the outsides, you said mixed reef. For all acro, youd need 2.
