Damn are they that weak that 4 won’t be enough?
I would never say they are weak. But you are either running a 30" wide tank, or a 30" deep tank, one way or another, it's a big tank.

Also what I mentioned, it depends on what you are trying to grow. I have a 72x24, I am running 3 XR30s and 2 Quantas (pretty similar to Orpheks).

I use quanta bars. 4 those would grow almost anything. I have 3 on my 3 foot by 3 foot tank. I keep the front desk so I don't have to clean the glass so if I wanted the whole area I'd go 4.

Problem with the quanta bars is you can’t really have a full schedule unless you get like switches and stuff right?
