I have a Waterbox Peninsula 4820 that I am having trouble deciding how to light. I have 2 Radion XR15 G6 blue on it currently, but I can already tell that I will not be satisfied with these alone. I built a custom 80/20 light bar mount, similar to what Devin (Reef Dudes) has on his tank, so mounting is not an issue.

The tank is roughly 48” x 20” x 22”

My question is, what would you do to add more light?

Add a 3rd XR15?
Add some AI Blades (& if so which ones)?
Throw in a different light in the middle?
Use some other kind of strip light?

Any input/opinions are appreciated!

Two Radion XR15s should be enough. Before suggesting you throw more money at lighting, can you post your current lighting schedule? (screenshot from Mobius)

It could just be a question of tweaking your settings. You could certainly augment with AI Blades (as they'll also run off Mobius).
