I run 8 bulb t5's on my 60 and 135 cube, not the answer you wanted but I had radions before and coverage was not really good at all, with the results I am getting from these fixtures glad they didnt cover well. IMO in a cube legthwise isnt the problem area of coverage it is the depth (front to back) that suffers the most.

yeah thats what i was worried about i was thinking maybe go with the lights on an angle diagonal and have them a little higher off the tank. What T5's are you running a DIY or is it a particular mfg?

I run ATI fixtures, sunpowers on controllers, also coralvue make a pretty cool T5 fixture with 5 bulbs and moonlights. Really comes down to bulbs which I only use ATI. I thought the same but I like a clean even flow and the angle would just annoy me in the end lol.

Edit: You can do like the picture above but 2 fixtures is needed, depending on cube size I guess, if I was gonna ever go back to LED i would do 2 120w maxspect razors just on my 60 or 2 160w 27" on my 135, personal pref on manufacturers.

I would recommend 2 photon24s with 90 degree optics
