So I currently have 2 IM tanks. A 50 lagoon and a 30L. I have radion pro g5s on both. One on each tank. I run lps/soft on 40% and my corals are happy even have a couple of sips at the top range doing fine. Any higher and the shrooms don't like it. My question is I'm thinking of going with 2 reefled 50s on the 80.The display is 47" long and 16" deep. I feel like two radions would be overkill since I'm mainly into lps and soft. I'm not concerned about shadowing on the far edges. My thinking is if it doesn't work out I can always move them to the 30 long and pick up another radion to pair on the 80. Im not sure I want to spend that kind of cash again on lights that will never run more than 50%. Although the coral lab stuff is great for a newbie like me. Also does the red sea come with any type of programs on the app that are set and forget? Thanks

Highly consider 1-2 Orphek OR3 sky blue or blue plus light bars
