I am removing the Aquatic Life T5 fixture. I have three XR fifteens two XR 30s two kessil a 500x and 2 orphek light bars. How would you arrange them over this tank? Of course this picture is with the Aquatic Life t5 fixture still hanging and the XR 30s are not hung yet.

tank is 60 long x 36 wide x 24" deep peninsula.

Are you wanting to use every light? I see no need for that many lights over that tank personally.

I would run the 2 XR30s, 2 XR15s and 2 Orphek Bars.

XR30 on both ends, the 15s in the middle (mounted kind of close together to resemble an XR30) and then the Orphek bars on the outside. If you really want to put the Kessils in bewtween the Radions you could.

See my super high tech CAD drawing for an example: (not to scale)
