I have ran into a huge problem with my LED options as my canopy is only 10" high. Tank is standard 125 72"x18x22. I was thinking the Kessil A360WE due to the 170 degree spread, but looks they will hang 3" off the water line. Options? Help!

Agreed. I bet you would be able to have at least 7 inches between the light and water with the ap700. They specifically have a canopy mount for that light.Kessil AP700 would be the better choice if low profile is your goal.
But what do you plan to keep? Without knowing if this is a FOWLR or SPS tank it's hard to say what light will work.
He would probably need at least 3 of any fixture - radion, kessil 360, ai prime / 26. even 2 ap700 would probably be needed if this is a reef tank.I would love to reccommend AI prime but I feel like you would need at least 3 to get a good spread.
Have you thought about the hydra 26? Ive never had it but it seems slim.
In my opinion, 3 x Aquatic Life 14" xs-uv fixtures, but better get them quick as they will be sold out.
I have looked at the Hydra 26HD and seem like a valid option. Guess I was liking the Kessils due to the ease of hanging and that shimmerI would love to reccommend AI prime but I feel like you would need at least 3 to get a good spread.

AMEN!I have my AI Hydra 52s inside the canopy. The bottom of the AIs are 5 inches above the water. It's nice and clean with the lights hidden, but more are needed for even coverage. I have a 48" x 22" tank. I ended up going with 2 AI Hydra 52s and 1 AI Hydra 26. I wish I had just gone with 3 AI Hydra 52s.
Bottom line, when wives are involved it costs us more money!
could start with one ap700 and then as you expand you can add another Fosters & Smith also often has 10-20% off so you can get them for a little better price.
