Hello! I haven’t posted in a while. Hope all is well. I saw Ecotech was bought by BRS. Wild.

My 120g NUVO AIO tank is humming along. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I’m starting to get shading from large SPS colonies.

DT dimensions are 18” wide x 6’ x 14” deep (or so).

I currently have 3, Radion G5 Blue’s over it running AB+ at 95%. I a 4th since the 15% off sale is just too good to miss and to help alleviate shading and hopefully drop them down to 80% to prolong their life.


The 3 are currently run lengthwise on the tank. I see them typically run front to back over a 6’ tank but since 18” is a little narrow, I’d like to hear opinions. I could take PAR readings both ways but they’re a PITA to flip around so I’d like to see if someone with knowledge could chime in.

There is room to run them lengthwise but they’d be darn near touching.
