Has anyone done their LED research as it pertains to a deep tank. 29" to be exact. I am trying to find 1 or even 2 LED fixtures that will grow corals at tha depth. The main thing that I will have will be SPS and soft corals. I do not want to do DIY. Just loking for a fixture that will cover a 48" tank with great Par #s. Thanks
 
40 degree optics is what you need and the amount of LEDs depend on what type of corals you are keeping

I measured the PAR of the Radions (G1, G2, and Pros) at that depth and the PAR values produced were well into the range needed to grow coral, despite the depth. Here's the show:
