Radion Coverage???

What is the coverage for the Ecotech Radion? I have a tank that is 3x3x2 and was wondering if 1 would be enough? If not do they make a LED that will cover it with one fixture? The fixture will be in a canopy.

Coverage is 24x24 so depending on what your keeping. Soft corals and LPS ok but no way with sps you need 2.

None that I know of will cover that large of a tank, unless you would want just an island in the center of corals with open water all around for swimming area. Or else you are going to have to get atleast 2, even with two you might have trouble getting good coverage on 3x3 tank, 3x2 sure but that big square is a very large footprint.

It would be great if they actually covered a 24x24 area, looking at Sanjays testing it looks like usable PAR even at 24" high is in a 9x9 area.
