Lights for a 48" X 24" X 20" tank

Would two LX7204s be enough for a mixed reef or should I go with two LX7206s?

Hi there,

You would be better off with the LX7206 because the additional coverage will provide plenty of light at the back or sides of the aquarium.

Which way would you mount them? Like the way the Flex Mount system 1 or 2 orientates them.

[Vinny]

Parallel to the length of the tank so, Flex Mount 2.

One more question. I have two of the 7206 lights and two of the flex mount 2 mounts. Is the best spacing to center each light over half of the tank or is there an offset that would be better?

Either option can work. It ultimately depends on how you do your rock layout.
