Yes, but most importantly what volume, I would say it’s sufficient for a 30G tank.

A 30 gal that's it ? I was looking at a 125 or 150 gal tank. I realize multiple light will be needed but can the 360x work on tanks that size ?

Yes, they are just fine for 150g as well, as long as you go for 3-5 Watts per gallon. Individual a360 is 90 watts, a360x is 25% more efficient

Of course they can. Softies and LPS, need probably one puck for every 24" x 24" area. For SPS, you will want to space pucks closer together and be more selective in placement of your higher light needing corals. One puck every 12" to 18" of length, so a 60" length tank first instance would probably need 4 pucks. Just a guideline, though. As corals grow out, more pucks is always helpful to reduce shadowing.

Yes I swap my radios for the Kessils 360x's and my SPS & LPS are doing great and some getting better coloration specially SPS.
I do supplement T5's for 4 hours but just on peak time but I see better results with the Kessils so far.
Feel free to check my pictures on IG __jreef__ of my lighting set up.
