Im noticing that around my area many people have these usa orbit reef lights (no lens) for sale under 100. After upgrading to a 20g im noticing my radion is giving a lot of harsh shading. Anyone have experience with this light as a "supporting" light to prevent shading? Mainly got acros atm, slowly bringing up the radion intensity from 47% to 60% but need something to help with the harsh v shape. Any other suggestions for budget supporting lights would be great, preferably not led. Tanks a IM 20G fusion at 25.6in long

*currently looking at this orbit marine or a used fluval 3.0. Budgets around 100-120 used
 
I have used them for that purpose, with radion g3 xr15s over my 75. if you can pick them up cheap they work fine. Not a ton of par though. I replaced them with a quanta helix though and love that.
