    i have a t5 H0 coral life 30inch lighting system for my 56 gallon not now but sometime this year i would love to upgrade to a eco tech marine radion xr30w
    if one unit is 12 inches long would i need 2? Im starting with a FOWLR but would aim to go into corals in the future.

    Is your 56 gal only 30" long or does the fixture not go from edge to edge of the tank?

    If it's only 30" I think you MAY be able to get away with one but I'm sure some of the folks that have the radion's now can chime in soon.
