Light blockage?

[Jesse Depass]

Does anyone foresee a problem with the plastic cross braces blocking light and causing shading? I am planning on getting 2 Kessil 360we, they would be mounted to the outside of both braces. Has anyone had problems with this kind of brace or will it be fine?

When I ran leds I saw some shadowing with my single crossmember didn’t really affect much just didn’t look the greatest.

Ok

I have a xr30 with diffusers over the center brace.

You will notice some par drop off right underneath the brace but nothing to worry about as you probably will not be placing corals that high in the tank. No shadowing for me but maybe it's because of the diffusers.
