Fantastic lights and great for SPS...assuming you get enough for your particular set-up. I have a client running 1 on a 90 gallon cube and his tank is looking great. The tank is 24x24x36. What size is your tank?


thanks

my tank is 49 inches long about 13 inches wide and around 20 inches in height

its not a small purchase so i need to be sure if one is going to be enough

I have a 180 (72x24x24) and I run two radions. According to guidelines I should be running three. I don't see the need. With proper coral placement I won't need to drop the extra $800 on a third unit. I actualy don't mind the minimal shadowing that I see in my tank, in fact I kind of prefer it. Just my 2cents.





I totally love my radions and would recommend them to almost anybody but if I were you though I'd wait until the new GHL and Vega come out. That way you can say that you've explored all of your options. Besides you never know if they come with an extra color like burnt siena or tropical green. That could be very important .

In my opinion, 1 is not enough over a 4 foot SPS tank. You might be able to get away with 1 on a 4 foot if you raise it high enough and aquascape your SPS right below it. If you raise it to high you will lose penetration.

With that being said, I would deff. go with 2 for an all out SPS tank.

There might by other opinions, but this is mine.

thanks

I have 2 over my 4 footer and its plenty. I think you could get away with the one. Amazing lights highly recommended
