and I think is big difference if you have one or two (more) radions...I think if i have one over 90x50x50 tank..i need bigger intenisty than if i have two radions ?,?

Start with a lower intensity and gradually climb up. On my last tank, the tank was a 76 cm depth and I was running them at 60% with good success while providing enough light for a gig anemone on a rock near the sand bed.

Yes, take the advice of Ecotech and start low and if you see that you can increase the intensity, then do so slowly.

I had 3 Gen3 Radion's evenly spread 2 feet apart with corals approximately 24 cm below the surface. There was a purple stylo 60 cm below the water line (the light fixtures were 12.5 cm above the water line) that grew like crazy. Again, my intensity was higher then what Ecotech is suggesting to you but again, my previous tank was much deeper then what you have.

When it comes to LED lighting, you can kill the coral much faster with too much light then too little light. Starting the intensity low and gradually raising the intensity is highly suggested and better for the corals in the long run.
