Looking for some opinions I have 2 radion xr30 g3pro that I think I'm going to run over the 120 when I set it up the tank will house mainly sps and zoas and my squamosa clam. My question is would the regular lenses light the tank enough or should I use the wide angles for better coverage but less par down low, also I could sell the radions and run 4 ai hydra 26hds instead but have never used them and not sure if it would be beneficial or basically the same.
 
Should be fine while you have SPS frags and if you keep the clam under the pucks. T5s to help with coverage and shadowing are probably in your future as stuff starts to grow and the point-source light become more pronounced.

Yea I will most likely add at least 1 bulb in front of the radions and 1 bulb behind them for shadowing
