LED lighting for 57g Illuminata

Looking to replace my ATI sunpower 6x39w light on my 57g rimless tank (36x18x21) Wondering if a single Ecotech XR30 Pro will be enough light. Will be hanging the fixture, not mounting it to the tank. Thanks!

for 36" long , one might not be enough. your pushing it at 30" i think. i had two a360w on my old 48x24x24 and just downgraded to a 93g 30x30x24 and will try one in the middle but might have to go with two which i already own. If you budget yourself for two radions, that opens up a whole new possiblities in that price range.
