Interesting. Should I start with 1 bulb on each side like U did or just jump right for 2 on each side? My tank is a 110gal I think the width is about 20"

FWIW i started with 2 on each side of my radions, also sunbrights, and corals loved it but i think it caused a small algae outbreak, next time i would mount all of them and turn turn on half for a while then the rest.

I Would likely just jump to 2 for each side , 4 bulbs will make a noticeable difference. It will also save you from having to build 2 separate sets of brackets like i did .

This is a good plan for sure, I too noticed a little algae outbreak . I guess do to the added light .. I turn 1 set of bulbs on at 11am then the second set at 12. I also stagger the off times .
