Advice please on mh pendant

In the process of moving and need to part with my 6ft tank. I've decided on the 150 deep dimension and would like to light it with a single radium, if possible. I have a lumen max 2 in stock but was thinking the lumen max elite would give better spread/coverage. Is there another reflector I should consider? What do you guys think?

The Elite will give you LESS coverage. I used 3 on a 6ft 250g but the concentration was strong right under the light. It was to much too. Will they be in a canopy and how high?

Height can be anywhere from 4-12 inches, suspended over tank, no canopy. So you think my lumen max would be better than an elite?

Well if it is high then the elite will be fine but I don't think 12" is high enough for either reflector to cover a 150g. That is 3 or 4 ft right?

3ft by 3ft tank. I could go higher if needed, might need some light shutters much higher though
