Just 2 radion xr30 gen4 on a 5 foot tank?

[reefz]

Will 2 radion xr30 gen4 be enough lights on my brand new red sea 525xl? Its about 5 feet and maybe If I hang the lights high enough they would work. They have the wide lenses on too. I dont want to spend anouther $500 on another light yk. I saw this picture of some one with the same tank and only two lights, maybe it can be done.

Btw this is not my tank

Do you think 2 could be enough for sps? I just dont want to buy another one.

I have 2 15 Gen 5 and 1 30 Gen 5 over a Cade 180 in a T5 hybrid over a mixed reef
the t5s are there for the SPS
I think the best thing to do is to try and see, your corals will tell you and you can save money in the meantime - but I suspect it can carry the load

I have a pair of XR30s and a single XR15 (all Gen5’s) on my 6-foot tank, so I think you’ll be ok. You may need to augment at some point if you go heavy into SPS.

2 are good. Just suppliment it with a t5 hybrid fixture
