Need help with new 112 ext lagoon lighting choice

[TTipsyDragon]

Good day! I was hoping I could get some opinions on what you guys would think is best approach for my new tank. My new tank is the IM EXT 112 Lagoon which is 3ft x 3ft cube.

I am down for other options than what I listed in the polls. I would like for my light to be controlled through Mobius and to stay under a $2000 max budget if possible

Thank you for your time and expertise!

2 Radion XR15 Blues with some light Bars. Just the 2 Radion 15's alone should give you enough PAR to grow anything you want & the light bars will make it easier to fine tune. You can also add them at a way later date when needed. I'm running 4 XR15 Blues & 2 AI Grows. Besides when I had T'5s which was my best tank this is my second best combo. I also had XR 30's Blues in the past..My Acro’s love this combo

Do you run your lights at 100% power? Or are the 15XRs so bright you don't need too?

Both at 85% but some of my Acro’s getting 550+ Par. Why i mentioned you only need 2 Radion Blues for that 3 foot tank

You’ve likely already made a decision but I figured I’d chime in anyways. I have an INT 112 and am running one xr30 pro with the multi arm kit/slide and it easily covers the entire tank.

Ya I decided to go with 2x15xrs g6 and I was disappointed at first not by the coverage but by the par.i upgraded to the high power lens and now I'm getting 200+ par at the top of my scapes

Please let me know where you purchased the xr30 pro with the multi arm kit/slide. Also how/where did you mount the arm with the lip on the tank?
Thanks!
