have a 150G (48L x 24W x 31H). currently using 2x250W MH radiums w/ lumenmax elite reflectors.
would like to switch over to LED but want to be sure I still get enough punch (Par) to bottom of tank where my clams are.
Open to all but have been looking at ecotech radion pro and Kessil A360W.. tank is eurobraced so a "center" light is out of question.
Would appreciate any thoughts.

My guess is that if I did kessil w/ narrow, I'd get the punch but not the spread for tank to be lit by 2 of them.. If i do the kessil wides, I'm afraid my clams wont get enough light.
and regarding the radions... will they get down that far?
 
The Radions have plenty of power to reach that deep.
 
Most mainstream LED fixtures on the market will do what you need! :)
 
i went with the evolution LEDs for the depth .. i had them on a 190 tall .. it was 72X22x28 .. they worked great .. reached the bottom no prob .. n they will grow pretty much any kind of coral you want ..

+1 on the Radions. You would need two Ecotech fixtures to cover the length of your tank.

Good point. When asked, I always suggest folks find someone locally who has the lights they are considering and check the lights out in person.
