My redsea 750 is 71 x 23.6 H x 25.6 W. I now have 3 Radion xr30 g4 pros running. My tank is mixed including many Acros. Tank is running 2 months with all the contents transfered from my reefer 450. Thinking about a 4th Radion. Would my corals appreciate the extra lighting? Would I see more growth over running 3? Waste of money?
 
I think you'll see more value in purchasing a $200 par meter and tuning your existing lights than buying a 4th in my opinion.
 
More lights will be more par and that results in less shadowing and more growth. You could run them front to back for better coverage. I'm only going to run three on mine for now but as the tank grows and I start to notice shadowing then I will probably go to four.

It doesn't look like you have much shadowing now so I would probably wait for another Ecotech sale and grab one then.

Awesome looking tank though. Good luck in whatever you decide.
 
If they go on sale or find someone selling one I might go for it.
 
I think you have plenty of light but if you want to have a little more even coverage you could add a 4th and run them all front to back.

If you decide to add a 4th, I have 3 g4 pro’s that I’m selling.
