Yeah. I use outlet 4 for it

That’s over the rating of the outlet, if you are running the Radions at full power. Read the instructions... don’t blame them if there’s is a problem

It’s 7amps max per outlet and 15 amps total. Your 4 XR30w Pro gen 4 can pull 6.3 amps, plus the powerheads. Perhaps not “over” the rating, but close enough that I would personally prefer splitting it up into 2. Of course this is assuming you run at 100%. And I am sure there is some leeway on their rating with a safety margin.

I have 8 radions, ~13 amps, on their own circuit plugged directly into a wattage meter and then GFCI. My two EB832 handle the rest of the equipment, mostly lower draw stuff besides the heater.
