Help with T5 lighting

Hello! I have a question, I know this can fit Radion XR15’s but can it fit XR30’s? Light in pictures! Thank you!

From the product description
"The rectangular rails are compatible with many of the major LED brands available like Ecotech Marine Radion XR15 and XR30 models, Aqua Illumination TwentySix, FiftyTwo, and Prime LEDs, Kessil AP700 and many more. If you have circular LEDs like the Kessil A160 or A360x, round LED brackets can be purchased separately."

So it looks like yes, the xr30's will fit. In fact now that I think of it, one of our mods @HotRocks has the 48" fixture with two Radion XR30 pros in it

Awesome! So 2 XR30’s could fit in a 36” one?

I would think so. I have one XR30 in a 24" model with room to spare. You can check build thread for spacing (at least I think I have photos there). Its a great set-up! Good luck!

Yup!

My tank also is 36”, do you think the 36” one would be too big? If so do you recommend the 24”?

I'd go 36" but also depends on the corals you plan to have. With a 36" tank and a 24" unit, the outer edges of your tank will not get light for certain corals.

Nope, the 36 over a 36 inch tank is perfect. I had the 36 over my 40 breeder and it fit like a glove. and i currently run the 48" over my 75. Covers the tank perfectly with not a whole lot of light spill.

Yes they will fit no problem. I have 3, 7" Gaps on the 48" fixture with the two XR30Pro4s.
