Radion Gen2 and Tank Size

[pleuralplexus]

Can a single Radion Gen2 provide enough light penetration to sustain a 2 foot by 2 foot 60 gallon cube reef tank with high light requirement SPS such as acropora?

If so, I'm about to pull the trigger on a really beautiful custom aquarium

Yes! But for sps you might want some supplemental light such as t5. Its not that the radian cannot produce enough light, actually 40 percent led power would be enough. SPS seems to loose color with just led, at least in my 48x30x20 w/ 2 radian gen2 and 4 t5.

I'd look elsewhere for your loss of color my friend Bc 2 over that tank is plenty of light to keep them in the pink or green or purple.. Lo Just saying

You might be correct... I am keeping a close eye on my parameters now!
