I was hoping I could get some community advice on a new setup I’m in the process of preparing. I have a Mr. Aqua 12 gallon long (35.4” x 8.3” x 9.4”). I’m planning on cultivating it over time as a mixed reef tank. I’m currently debating about my lighting options and could use some other opinions/advice.
I’m fairly certain at this point, that I want to go with a Radion. I can’t decide if I should go with a Radion XR30w Gen 3 Pro or if I should use 2 Radion XR15w Pro. Given the dimensions of the tank, I’m afraid that getting a Radion XR30w will not give me the same coverage as getting two XR15w.
Additionally, my reservation about going with the XR30w is that I plan to eventually place my SPS towards the end of the tank with a few of my lower demanding light corals towards the center. Would the two XR15w be a better route or would one XR30w be sufficient? I would greatly appreciate anyone’s opinion or insight on which option would be the best route. :fish1:
