I have 6 Sol Blu Modules for my 60" x 36" x 28"T tank. Tank has center brace. Can I mount these on a single 60" rail like shown on website? It does say that max tank "depth" is 24" though. I will probable mount about 6-8" above water. Any help or experience would be helpful

With the 36" deep you might want to consider 70 deg. optics for more spread and with a depth of 28" hang the lights as close as possible.

8 to 10 above water. Single rail will work. Pretty strong aluminum rail. Will be a clean install. May have to set the w bl rb a little higher to compensate for depth. Your corals will let you know how much they can take. You do have to take into consideration the input wires between units.

If it weren't for the center brace 2 rows of 3 lights I think would be ideal.
I'm in the same same boat with my tank as well. I don't have the 6 units yet, but its what I was considering. I'm thinking about different options right now. Don't really know what I will do.

I've decided to two rows of three but in a staggered configuration to get max coverage. I'll let you know how it turns out.
