3 radion xr30 too much for 150 cube?

Tank is 36"x36"x27 tall. I have 2 gen2's and 1 g3.

Thanks

I use 1 radion g3 pro at the recommended height in a 36x36x30-something bow wedge and it seems to get the job done. I understand the only commercial light that's going to reach the bottom is that one.

Nope. 3-4 is perfect.
Less than 3 is insufficient for SPS. Ok for other corals.

I think I would want at least 3 over a tank that size.

Got it. I was hoping I could use the gen3 on a frag tank and use the 2 gen 2's on the DT. Frag tank is a 10 gallon and the radion would probably be set at 15% max. Too much?
