Adding AI Blade Glow to Supplement Radion’s

[Jimbo]

My tank is 60”x 25”x16”H. Currently running 3 Radion XR15 Blues. Tank is SPS dominant and Acro’s are doing great right now with good color and growth.

As the Acro’s are growing in I was going to add more Radions but have decided to supplement what I have with a 57” AI Blade Glow. 1 for now and possibly adding another soon.

Any advice on adding this without shocking my corals? I’m hesitant to change anything right now as corals are doing so good but I can already tell that just the 3 XR15’s are not going to be enough long term.

My hope is that with 2 Blades running the full length of the tank will blanket the area with light, cut down on shading/ shadowing.

Any advice on adding the Blades would be appreciated.
Here’s a pic of the tank for reference.

I see there is an acclimation mode on the Blades so disregard…or continue disregarding

Thanks!

Hello.

What were your findings on the lights once you got them over the tank? I also have a 60” tank and am trying to decide between the 48 and the 57”. Any suggestions?

I just added 2 57" Grows on a 6 foot tank & I absolutely love them. Only have starter corals so I was able to go full blast. If I had a tank full of corals I would start at 10% & increase 10% weekly or biweekly nothing more. I also have a PAR meter tho..

I like them . It grows my Mixed tank at a faster rate. But look wise it's not popping like Orphek but still like them.

This is my setup in 60 ft tank
