    FYI, Here's coverage comparison of Radion Pro with 80 degree and 120 degree lenses over 48x48 area at 24" depth:

    Your par values would be lower since you have 30" deep tank.

    Maybe I should just pick up a 350 non wide version and utilize both. Not excited about it aesthetically due to being different sizes and I think two spots on a cube may look strange.

    I have the 350W also but not 30 deep and wondering same thing about coral growth.
    Some people are having great success and I do not have a par meter so wondering if I just do not have it dialed in properly.

    Anyways I will be getting new light tomorrow for testing purposes. Probably will be overkill but the price is right compared to the kessil.

    Check out what I am getting. Has some nice features and may be something you can utilize. Also you can change optics from 90 degree standard to 120 upon request at no extra charge(just got to email them after checkout).

    Anyways good luck
