Recommendations on leds for large fowlr 96x33x25. I will not be going to a reef setup but I want the nice pop that my t5s give my fish now. I would also like to be able to control the white, actinic and moon seperately. Any suggestions?

Maybe the TruLumen Pro Strip lights. Get two blue and two White set staggered and then a seperate moon light led. Thats what Id do.

If I were to go with the radion xr30, how many would I need?

The 33" width presents issues. If you only went with 4 fixtures you would need to mount them fairly high to get even lighting (18"-20" above the tank or so). I would also check out the new Aqua Illuminations Vegas, they have a little more spread than the Radions. I suspect in the end you would need eight of either light, but I would certainly try 4 at first. With a fish only tank you don't need the par value that a coral tank would demand, but I'm just not sure if you will be happy with the spread covering the 33" width.

Are there any fixtures that I can get away with 4 units? I don't want to spend 5 grand on lights for a fish only.
