Hi all, just wondering how the spread is with a single k7 pro v3 light? Hoping to do lps and some sps.

Dimensions are 48L, 18W, 24H.

Appreciate it!

The website states 2' by 2' for coverage. I have 3 over my 6' by 18" tank and definitely could have gone with 4 or 5 for better overall coverage.

I have 2 on a tank with that footprint. I wouldn’t trust any light to spread more than 24 inches
Do you like the coverage you're getting with 2? I've got a 44"x19"x17" tank and considering these. Not sure if I should go with 2 or 3. Will be mostly nems and SPS.

I have 3 over a 48"x24"x24". The peak intensity is only at 60%, and my clams are growing well. So are my SPS, but they are all of less finicky varieties.
