Currently using 2 Radion XR30 pros, and getting shadowing on some SPS coral (expected). Has anyone tried to pair the radions up with a ReefBrite XHO LED stripe? Since this isnt a cluster of led's, more like a straight bar, any chance this will fill in the gaps that the Radions are missing?

How big is your tank and how high are they hung? I have two of the same fixtures over a 105 gallon and have 100% coverage?

I wasn't worried about coverage, my tank is 36x17x17, so I have perfect coverage. The thing is, when people run LED lights, it causes some shadowing for SPS corals, which is why most people supplement with T5's or using T5's all together.

My lights hang 8" above the water line, with the RMS mounts.
