    Honestly, I think that might be a little short!

    Well on their website they say the 16" value line led can light a 36" area with sps in the middle and lesser light corals on the ends....So if a 16" fixture can light that wouldn't a 24" work even better?



    These are our best selling fixtures! They utilize 55 highly efficient 3 watt bridgelux LEDs in 8 different color spectrums. The white channel consists of 13 4500K neutral whites, 2 520nm green, 4 480nm blue, 4 420nm violet, 2 450nm royal blues, and 2 660nm deep reds. The blue channel consists of 28 450nm royal blues, for a 14k output with both channels at maximum intensity. Each fixture measures 16" long x 8.5" wide, x 2.5" tall, and covers a 24" cube for sps, and a 36" long area for sps in the middle, and lps/softies on the edges. They dim via knobs mounted on top of the fixture, and have 2 separate right angle plugs, switches, and dimming knobs to allow for a dawn/dusk effect. They include a hanging kit comprised of 4 wires meeting at a carbiner. As with all of our fixtures, it is kept cool with silent cooling fans, and comes with a full 2 year USA warranty. Coral growth and color under these fixtures has been amazing, they are the best bang for your buck out there!

    Hold on.....I was thinking it was an 8 ft tank for some reason. Yeah, it should cover fine. That's only 6 inches of overlap on each end.

    Do they say somewhere the suggested coverage of the larger units?

    On a 210, you would be looking at 3 16" fixtures with 90 degree optics, or 2 32s with the same optics.
