Tank Dimensions - 30L x 24D x 22H
Coral - Will stock some sps, mostly lps


I'm debating between setting up a XR30 Pro G4 or x2 XR15 Pro G4's.

The idea being that I could space out my lighting better with the w XR15's.

Considering my dimensions what do you guys think?

Welcome to R2R!!! Either setup would work good, but you would be able to spread the light out more evenly with the 2 xr15's. I have 2 xr15's on a 120 gal tank, but I also have t5's as well. The 2 xr15's light up my tank good, I use the t5's to add more light and to fill in any shaded areas. On a 30 in tank you shouldn't have much, if any shaded areas.

Thank you for your help!

Does this sound overkill for the size of my tank?

I will be keeping some sps however mostly LPS is my current idea.
