I have 2 gen 3 radion xr30. I am upgrading to a 60" 130 gallon. Have lps, a squamosa clam, and a bta. Are the 2 radions enough? If not would a xr15 in the middle be enough extra? I have no interest in sps, but bta is in the center of tank and clam at the end. I really want them to get enough light
 
They are supposed to be good at 30" but I think the recommended spread is 24" so you may need the xr15 in the middle. I would first set it up to see how it looks and if you have poor light spread then look into getting the supplemental xr15.
 
Ok, Thanks. I was hoping with the overlap the middle might be ok, but since that is where I want my bta to stay I was not sure. I really don't want him to decide to move! But he is at the top so I assume it is OK.

Thanks
