What kind of coral are you planning on keeping, this will determine what lighting you need? I will post par this weekend for you. I'm not planning on anything else in the sump, I do have room for a NYOS reactor in the area where the socks used to be but I usually don't run one. I've never had or needed a refugium so can't help you there, I do use a 3d printed basket for bio media spheres I keep in the sump.

I plan on keeping mostly LPS, but I do want the top to have SPS. With it being a pool tank, I'm assuming shadowing shouldn't be a huge issue if I scape correctly and put SPS in the back? Tank is 35" I think so I feel like 2 XR15 at 60% would probably be fine... Could do an XR30 right next to an XR15 but worried it might look funky?

I agree if you do your scape correctly 2 XR15's would be fine. I have an XR15 Blue running on a 15x15 cube so Ill get you some par readings Sunday from it to give you an idea.

Here’s a quick reading. This is without the T5s and the lights are 80% with the exception of white being at 40%

Looks great. I'll send my pics soon. I had to buy tons of copepods and phyto because the gentleman gave me a mandarin with the livestock. Not cheap

I think i also may end up buying the dimmable version of the aquatic life t5 36 and put my kessil a360x in the center. Right now, thats my only light (which is fine).
