I just bought a jbj 45 gal aio for my office. I’m sure I want a radion just unsure which will best fit my tank. I want a light to support sps yet not get a tan in my small office.
I currently run 2 xr 30 g3 pro over my 65 gal that’s 36” wide. I seem to recall the 30 covering 2’x2’-
would a diffuser lens or wide angle lens on either light alter this and still give good growth? I plan to use a rms mount for either.

Suggestions?

I would do the XR30 with a defuser.

Doesn’t 2 xr15= a xr30?

I was kind of leaning towards the xr30 with defuser as suggested.

Basically yes. With two you would just be able to spread them apart for full coverage.
