Honestly one light actually looks pretty good, if I ran it parallel it would be even better. Something to keep in mind as well, the tank is 32" front to back and the spread you're seeing is the shorter length.

And while spread isn't everything I don't have any issues keeping virtually any coral anywhere in this tank. Clams in the sand, no issue.

:bolt:

haha, I would burn my house down, or at the very least cook my tank. The tank is built in to a wall, so the lights are inside the wall space above it, which is completely enclosed. Even with a 90cfm fan evacuating air in the space where the lights are and sending it outside 24/day, 8 radions is enough to heat the space above the tank up enough to warm the water in the tank 1.5 degrees C over the course of a day. If it was an open top tank, I probably would have gone with halides in the original design.

I still stand by the statement that I could probably run 2 in parallel and cover my 72x30x24 tank and yes its almost entirely sps. I prefer the three units. Four would be overkill and I would probably only be able to run them at 50%.

I think I would probably do 4 to start with, in two rows positioned lengthwise. I have really obnoxious internal overflow boxes on either end of the tank that would cause major shadows on the corners if I only had a centre line of three I think.

hmmmm, 4 Mitras, that's what, 4800?. I wonder how much I could get for 8 Gen 1 radions?

Gen 1's are no longer supplied so you would be looking at Gen 2's at $640 each x 8
