    I was wondering if anyone use these lights I have 2 kessil 150s (sky blues) over my 75 gal and I love em I want to put the 360s over my 210 gal (standard size) and was wondering how many (was thinking 3) and if I should go with the wide or narrows.

    Depends what you have in the tank. I'm assuming the 210gal is 72" long? My tank is 60" long and after doing some research and contacting BulkReefSupply, they said I could get away with 2 A360WE cause mine will mostly be a fish and maybe some zoas tank. If you only plan to get 3 lights, I would get the wide as the narrow probably won't be enough for coverage for a 72".

    Yeah if you have corals you may need 4. But maybe try 3 and see how it goes, you can always buy a 4th down the road. The A360WE is the newest out, brighter than the A360W. I'm not even sure you can get the A360W, all the online stores only seem to carry the A360WE. Typically, the A360N is used for deep tanks, not sure how deep yours is, but if it's over 3' deep, your better served with the narrow. Otherwise, wide will do. But the narrow is spec'd to cover only 18" vs. 24" diameter for the wide.
