155 Bow-front

[GusDiaz]

Hi guys,

I am planning on buying 4 Radion pro for my 155 gallon All-Glass Bow-front aquarium. All-Glass brand has 2 plastic division in the top of the tank for support. I currently have 12 Mazpec mazarra-P on my aquarium with great light spread. I am thinking of 2 possibilities.

1. 4 Radion pro. 2 in the center side by side (long side of radion facing front to back) and one on each lateral compartment one radion long side oriented side to side.

2. 6 radion pro. 2 on each compartment long side oriented front to back.

The aquarium dimensions are 72"long, 24" deep, 21" wide on the sides, 25-26" wide in the center. It also has 2 Megaflow drains on each corner division.

Can I get any other suggestions. How to mount the Radions if I go with 4 units in different orientations?

Does anyone has pictures of radions on a bow front set up that way?

Also, if a new lens is coming for a spread of 36x36. Then would it be better to buy 3 radions with the new lens upgrade? I guess this last one would be for the Ecotech guys. When is that lens going to be available too?
Thanks

Gus,

For an aquarium that size, I would recommend using 3 Radion Pros.

And I guess that orientation of the unit will depend on how the light behaves over the corals.

Thanks

Ok, bought 3 Radion pro today from Salty Supply. So I guess that I am switching from Mazarra P to Radion in the next weekend.

Got the radions on Wednesday. Will change the LED during the weekend
