I do not have one. I have been led to beloved they light up a square 24*24. If you have a long skinny tank perhaps its better to look at a 4 foot fixture, might give you more bang for your buck.

With dim's like that, you're going to need 2 for sure. Still cheaper than going to a 4' Vertex. Or have a look at the AI fixtures. Im no expert on them but I think 3 of them at about $399 each might be a better option for you.

I have a Radion on my 30x24x24 and I'm thinking of adding another down the road to allow better "par" towards the edge of the tank.

Don't start another thread . Do a search there has got to be 50+ threads on here and RC for both the AI and Radion.

personally i am biased towards the radions
i really like them plus they kinda remind me of raden from mk
well decisions decisions
if anyone is feeling generous and wants to give away their radions
i called dibs first

I really like my Radion, no question. The vertex has the same fuctionality as the radion, and the have the red mods out now too.

For your tank roughly;

2x Radion = $1700
1x 4' vertex = $2500
3x AI's = $1200

Maybe the new sunbrite fixtures could be an option for you. Only a little more than a single radion and you would get full coverage.
