Need more light

[ncfishguy]

I have two radions over a 90 gallon I'd like to add more light cuz I have a lot of shadows what would be some good lights to add with my radions besides t5

I know you said besides t5’s but IMO that’s your absolute best option or you can buy 2 or 3 more radions and stagger them across tank

If you didn’t want to add t5’s, then I think you’re down to looking at strip led lights and potentially angling them from the sides.

You could add some more pucks level over top, but I think that either t5’s or I guess angled strips of leds are going to be your best bet for filling in the shadows.

I would look at reef Breeders, Orphek and sbreeflight’s strip leds as they seem to be able to crank out some more quality light than the cheaper flatter led lights we see in freshwater.

Best of luck and happy reefing!

Orphek blue + bar, another radion and add the diffusers. Do you have the xr15 or xr30?

Xr30 with wide angle lenses

If you have the ability to add something like the Orphek bars I would try that, if not then another radion, but something like the aquatic life t5 would be ideal

Start with the diffusers. Then add more pucks is going to be your best option (other than adding T5s or going with a panel of strip style LED).
