How many Ecotech Marine Radion G6 do I need?

[djstud]

I have a mixed reef system that is 96" L x 24" W x 24" H. It has been running for a few years now. I am planning on upgrading my lighting to Ecotech Marine Radion G6 lights. How many do I need? I was thinking two Pros and one Blue. The Blue would be in the middle. Am I correct or way off.

Off, but, not way off. A lot is going to depend on your aquascape and the possibilities of shadowing.
I would choose all Radion Pros, If you are a blue fan ( Windex and orange glasses) the pros will still get you there.
But if you like a more natural reef light, the blues wont get you there. And if you mix them on an 8' tank you will see drastic color separation. On my 90" x 36" x 28" I run 4 G6 Pros and AI Blades for supplement fill as my tank is 36" front to back. 4 run the long way with tank barely cover my 90"

4 and go all Pros

For 1/3 the cost you could have the Gen 2 Nicrew 200s

Zero because they are not worth the cost. Just get some reefi's or something.

Seriously though, make sure you think long and hard and research before committing to a certain brand.

Not a big Radion fan, but I’d agree that you need 4 of them across an 8 foot length for proper coverage. You can always turn down the intensity if needed, but 4 will help to limit shading.

332 of them, and I expect a commission check from the company.
