Kessil Led lights

[DaBears08]

I have a 190gal 5ft x 2ft x 31in Im looking at a couple of kessils 360s,

Im not sure if the 360n would be better than the 360w. If down the road i need to add another i will but I'm looking at buying 2 now. any suggestions?

The tank will be a mixed fish and reef 50/50.

The effective diameter on the 360w's is about two feet so you would have a darkish area in the middle of your tank, the narrows would be worst. I have two 360w's on a 4 foot long 120 gallon and I think my coverage is pretty good.

I would do 3 but there is a 6in brace in the middle of the tank that is almost a inch thick of glass. I'm not sure if i want to jump up to 4 kessils.

I love the Kessils but honestly you'll probably need 4 with a center brace.

What's your scape like? If you have islands under the open parts and nothing under the brace you could probably get away with 2 wides if your tank wasn't so deep. 31" is a deep tank which gets you back to needing the narrows to punch down that far. Maybe start with 2 narrows but understand you'll eventually need 4. You could angle the 2 centers ones to point towards the middle to get around the brace.

That is what I was thinking.
