Radion xr30 over 57g db rimless

[FL-Reefer-addict352]

I'm upgrading my lighting and I ready to buy a xr30 gen 4 pro but just wondering if itwould be enough coverage or should i get 2 xr 15s gen 4 pros and space them accordingly its going over a deep blue 57g edge rimless thanks in advanced for all the input

Dimensions please!
I have a 50 cube 24x24x20 and burn all the corals at 22% on a gen 3 pro.

36x20x18

XR15 - 399
XR30 - 799

The only cost difference between two 15s and 1 30 is going to be the 79$ extra for the mount. I personally would recommend 2 XR15s for 36" over 1 XR30. The 15's can be spread apart more than the pucks on a 30 and give a more complete spread.

I agree fully!
But if you can only afford one radion it will work. Just might have some dark spots.

I can get the xr15 for 359 free ship and xr30 for 729 free ship both pros and both gen 4s

Price isn't an issue just want the best setup

There's the answer. Heads up start really low on light level. I killed couple hundred in sps night one day at 27%

Ok thanks 2 xr15 it is what % should i start at 15-18%

 

[Antics]

Depends on the type of coral and depth. What previous lighting was used, etc. In general, conventional wisdom says its better to have less than more if you're dialing it in.

I ordered 2 xr15w pro gen 4s and I'll space evenly and start low strength I'll have mostly zoas and Lps and eventually maybe some sps but not much

 

[AndyM]

I would personally recommend starting at 15% I will post my light schedule in a minute.

 

[AndyM]

Here's my schedule I know the lights turn on around noon. I made them around my schedule so I could enjoy the tank when I'm home.

 

[FL-Reefer-addict352]

Thanks for that I'll start around 15% and do I just gradually inch it up over time?

Yep that's what I'm doing. I figured my max will be 25%.
