Led spread on a 29g

[intarsiabox]

Does anyone know if a single radion or vega will cover the spread of a standard 29g tank (30" x 12")? Tank only contains LPS and softies, no SPS. If anyone has a tank set up like this already, photos would be appreciated!

1 Radions will do it but you would need 2 Vegas to achieve similar spread.

Either will do just fine

A single vega should do the trick. Especially since your keeping Lps! I've seen a few 30ish gallon tanks with ai sols, haven't seen any with Vegas yet.

I'm currently running a single Vega over my 65 gallon (36x18x24). It spreads sufficiently from end to end. The idea of needing two of these lights over a 29 gallon is laughable really.

Thanks for all the replies! I have a Cree 60W LED over the tank right now but it has very little spread even though it is 16" long with lights edge to edge. Light fall off just 2 inches on either side of the fixture is pretty drastic. I have 2 AI Sol blues on another tank that I will be able to try out when the tank is getting shut down but I want to stick with just a single fixture and I don't think a single Sol will cover the 30" spread to my liking. The Vega is supposed to have much better coverage than the Sol as does the Radion. I also had a welder at work do up a light stand that is 18" above the tank rim so that right now is my limiting height factor. So the plan is to sell the 2 Sol's and controller and buy just a single light fixture when the time comes.

Post pics of your spread. Any spotlight effect?
