Gen 2 radion pro question.

[Rarend99]

Hey guys I picked up a 50x18x18 rimless cadlights tank and I'm wondering about coverage.

I have a gen 2 radion pro that I want to use and was thinking if I put wide angle lenses on it would it be enough to cover the entire tank????

If your doing softies and LPS your good with two. If your doing sps I would recommend 3 pro's

If you have just one gen 2, I would recommend you save your money and just buy a second unit. The wide angle will not be able to cover your footprint and you are reducing your output per square inch too much. IMO

For an aquarium that size you will need 2 Radions. They will provide you with all the light you could possibly need to keep any coral or invert.

Ah that's unfortunate. Thanks for the heads up guys

yeah you won't be able to cover 50 inches with one light. You can do 2 radions and make it work. I had 2 over a 4 x 2 x 2 for years and it worked well.

Whoa I really messed that one up guys, I meant it's a 50 gallon
36x18x18!!!!!
I was wondering why everyone's answer was so off

Alex it's a 36x18x18

Alex it's a 36x18x18

In that case, one Radion with our Wide Angle Lenses will be perfect.

Will it support sps all over the tank?

 

[Rarend99]

Anyone?

 

[Eastamherstbias]

Yes, I would still keep the Sps more under the light and the softies around the fringes.

 

[Rarend99]

Ok. I'm hoping to do mostly sps maybe I'll keep a hammer and frogspawn on the outskirts

 

[Rarend99]

Thinking 9" off the waterline, good for a sps dominant tank?
