Jorge091293 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 that's my limit budget on leds I am on the 900 dollar range Quote Link to comment
NoOneLikesADryTang Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Those lights have a recommended coverage of 18x18. With that being said, if you’re just keeping softies and lps, and aren’t going to have much in the edges, than I’m sure they’d be plenty of light for your needs. If you aren’t set on Radions, there are lots of other lights that are terrific that would fit your needs, and not be $900. Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 A Maxspect Razor 300W would be $900, and would more than cover you're tank. You could probably get by with a Razor 200W for $600. Quote Link to comment
Thrassian Atoll Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I don’t think 2 xr15s would cover the tank. I have 4 on my 48” and just 2 would have a ton of empty space. I would honestly just go with a T5 setup if you don’t want sps or you could do the 2 xr15s and add the T5 aquatic life hybrid setup. Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Many options other than radion. What about 2 Chinese boxes? That will cover the dimensions and cost less, which means more money for corals😁 1 Quote Link to comment

What's the purpose of the extra carbon? Quote Link to comment
Jorge091293 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Just Incase I take off the canopy and my baby grows something In there I also burn a candle from bath a body for 2 hours every day Quote Link to comment
