Currently have a 48x23x22 tank with four xr15 Gen blues. Getting a 72"x30x23 in December. Would like to do t5 hybrid with radions. Anybody have any good suggestions given the width of the tank??
 
Are you set on T5s? You could always look at augmenting the Radions with something like a ReefBrite

No, but I think if I were going to stay all leds I would get get either 4 more xr15s or 2 xr30s and turn them sideways.

Also it will be mixed reef but will have a good amount of sps.
 
I had a 48x 30 tank. And I just used Kessils over the center like normal. I kept a few inches behind the rock and back glass and few inches from the front as well.
so all the coral will be placed with in the spread of the lights capability.

that being said supplementing with t5 is a great idea regardless of tank size.
