Hey everyone,
I'm setting up a 30x30x18 cube and I'm considering the Radion. Does anyone have any idea if 1 will be enough to light this tank? I dont want to be limited. Im not going to put SPS everywhere in the tank so Im ok with keep them in the middle of the tank. But i would be like to be able to keep LPS everywhere, some SPS.
 
I know mine covers a 24x24" and isn't hung very high (4" over water.) I would think if hung high enough you would be fine. Mine are covering the 24" footprint very well at 65 percent power.
 
You should be fine if you hang it at about 10-12".

My LFS owner came over after I had got mine and was convinced to pay the money and get a demo version which he hung over his 65gal which is 36".

Running at 60% he has had no problems or issues. He's even saving up to replace the Planet over his Elos tank.
 
you will be more than fine with that light, Im planing on using them on my 500g, Its one re with awesome light fixture with brains
 
I sold a 30x30x20 and customer used 1 x radion and it cover the whole tank. He told me it's covered to the side. No shadow area.
