Hydra 26 HD

I have a 90 gallon tank and I am trying to decide on lighting. I was thinking two HYdra 26 HD's. I plan on mostly zoa's and LPS, but want to be able to add a couple SPS down the road if and when I get more comfortable with reef keeping. What do you think?

What are the tank dimensions? They have around a 24x24x30 max spread.

I just set up a 90 gallon and went with the 52's. Rather have to much light than not enough. That being said AI told me I would be fine with 2 26's

I had thought about that, but was worried about burning up softies and lps. What has been your experience.
