Radion question

How many xr30 pro's would I need to light my 120 gallon 72" tank?

rtparty · 02/09/2014, 01:42 AM

At least 3 of them.

3 with wide angle lenses would probably suffice. I have 4 over my 84" tank.

I use 3 gen 1's on my 72" 240 gallon tank

Im sorry to barge in...but I have a similar question.

I have a 96x36x32 tank being built. I had prepared to buy 4 Radions...but someone mentioned to me that it was only a 24" spread so due to the width of my tank, I would have to double the amount to get an even spread.

Is this what y'all believe as well?

I'd go with 3 GHL Mitras and save some money. I'd want at least 6 Radions on that tank.
