Radion over 29g

[JMurphy97]

Does anyone think one radion would be ok over a 29g? I would like to keep a clam, some sps, and maybe a few lps and zoos. I'm not sure how far off it would have to be to get the whole tank covered. I'm ok with the edges having less light needing corals or none at all.

I think 1 would be perfect! I have 1 over my Elos Midi, 36 gallon, and I'm currently slowly moving my stock from my tore-down Nanocube over. I have the light programmed on Natural mode at 30% intensity - 100% is Brrr-IGHT!. Now, if you have a typical 29, I imagine it is 30" long, so you would need to put your low-light corals on the sides, but those tanks aren't very tall so I would think practically anything, from clams to hardy SPS (like Montipora sp.) could go on the sand right under the light (more demanding SPS and T. crocea higher up). Just 2 cents from a new Radion owner.

You will be fine heck you might burn up a few corals.

Well buring them is not in the plans. How high should it off the surface?

Well, mine is right at 8.5" from the water surface...for whatever that is worth.
