Looking for some recommendations! I have an AI hydra 52HD on my smaller tank, and was debating about getting two more to light the tank. Dimensions of the new is 72" x 24" x 24"

Looking at used prices - that would put two more 52HDs in a similar range to a 6 bulb 60" T5 fixture.

I'm not super crazy about the shadowy/shimmering look of the LEDs, so the T5s seem kind of appealing. I'm just worried the 60" light on a 72" tank might look a little silly, and a hybrid fixture plus two more 52s is out of the budget right now.

Anyone with a 6' tank that can share their setup opinions?
