ecotech multiple radion hanging

[oshanickreef]

i have a tank that is 48Lenght x 24Depth x 18 Height.

I want 2 radions on it. Which rail kit should i use (i assume the longer one) and what configuration should i use? and how many hanging kits do i need?

thanks,

The longer hanging kit is fine. Have them hanging with the short end facing the front pane.

One hanging kit is just fine.

 

[oshanickreef]

what do you mean by the short end?

They have that new bracket or mount that just came out. It might be worth considering.

 

[oshanickreef]

yes but it is on backorder... and i think my tank has too much depth

 

[usingthejohn]

what do you mean by the short end?

I guess it would technically be the side of the radion. have the led pucks lined up front to back, instead of side to side when you hang them. At 9" above water line, spread is 24 x 24. At 12" above water line spread is 30x30. They also sell wide angle lenses if you need more spread.

so if i hung them side by side so they kinda look like this

then it would cover the 48 inch length?

 

[usingthejohn]

It should based off the spread that's listed on the radion specs

oh. well thats what im trying to figure out lol.

i know that one radion in the center of a 24x24 area covers that area... so i suppose if i have each radion in the center a foot apart... they should be good?

im just guessing.. lol

I would recommend taking a look at our rail kit configurations found here: http://ecotechmarine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/RailKitConfig_hirez9-10.pdf

Nick- Based on those dimensions, I'd recommend (1) Short Rail Kit & (1) Hanging Kit which will evenly space the lights over your 4' tank. I attached a pic for reference, too.
