What lighting system would you use for a 96” inch long tank?

I’m curious what would you do for lighting? Vote and post your light fixtures ideas.

What type of coral are you trying to keep?

I am not going to recommend any particular lighting (even though I voted T5/LED hybrid because that is my preference) but, any option you may consider, layout your tank dims in some design software and layout the fixtures you might want to run. This way you can see the spread, total up wattage and you can see cost. That way you can make an informed decision more accurately. See image below for example.

I would get the new meridians from reefbreeders, 2x 48” or a 63” and a 24” daisy chained together.
