Lighting question

[Matthias7]

I am thinking of changing my lighting. I currently have a 250 dd tank (60x36x30). The option I am looking at is the aquatic life hybrid 24 in fixture x2. I would use a radion G4 pro or a similiar high powered fixture in each aquatic life hybrid. Will this be enough lighting?

What are you trying to keep in the tank? Softies, LPS, SPS, mixed?

Mixed reef mostly sps/lps

A lot of the specifics will depend upon the aqua-scape design and placement of the corals. You might end up with a bit of shading that would limit your ability to place specific corals in some areas, but you should be able to get adequate power to the majority of the tank.

As a comparison, I run 4x 48" T5's and 3x Radion XR13's (G3) over a 59x22x22 (Red Sea 525XL). I get some shading in the corners, but overall I have good coverage. I run everything at 50% max, so there's still some power left in the lights.
