EcoTech Marine Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED fit check
EcoTech Marine Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED is a 215W reef light listing about 36x36 in of coverage and roughly 520 PAR at 18 inches. That clears ReefCrafter's PAR targets for soft coral, LPS, mixed reef, and SPS tanks. Tanks wider or longer than 36x36 in need a second fixture or a mounting plan that spreads light.
EcoTech Marine Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED: fits roughly 55-150 gallon systems. Specs, compatibility math, sizing risks, and alternatives before you buy.
Who it is for

Not a fit for
- ✕ Tanks under about 55 gallons; it is sized above them.
- ✕ Systems over about 150 gallons without adding capacity elsewhere.
- ✕ Footprints larger than about 36x36 in from one unit.
Listed features
- full G6 spectrum incl deep UV
- HEI2 optics
Compatibility math
Coverage and PAR
Example: A common 75g footprint is 864 sq in; this fixture lists about 1,296 sq in and 520 PAR at 18 in.
ReefCrafter checks spread and intensity separately because a bright hotspot still leaves dim edges.
Risk notes
- The common mistake is buying a light that grows soft corals now but cannot support the mixed or SPS reef the keeper already wants.
- Price is marked as estimated, so verify current vendor pricing before treating the budget as final.
- Large or SPS-heavy tanks may need multiple fixtures even when one light technically fits the gallons.
Professional fit context
- Match coverage width, coverage length, PAR at depth, mounting plan, and fixture count.
- EcoTech Marine Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED fits roughly 55-150 gallon systems; confirm that range against the final display volume, sump volume, and livestock plan.
- Treat the displayed price as a budget placeholder until a reviewed vendor page confirms current pricing.

Questions
Can the EcoTech Marine Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED grow SPS corals?
Its listed 520 PAR at 18 inches meets ReefCrafter's SPS target of 250-350 PAR near the coverage center. Edges and deeper rock will read lower, so place SPS high and centered.
How large a tank does one EcoTech Marine Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED cover?
The listing gives about 36x36 inches of coverage. A tank footprint larger than that needs another fixture or a raised, spread mounting plan to avoid dim edges.
What tank size is the EcoTech Marine Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED for?
ReefCrafter's catalog fit range for it is 55-150 gallon systems. Confirm that against your final display volume, sump volume, and livestock plan rather than the box label alone.
What should I compare the EcoTech Marine Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED against?
Kessil AP9X LED Lighting Panel (470 PAR at 18 in vs 520: less intensity, suited to lower-light corals); AquaIllumination Hydra 64HD Reef LED Black (430 PAR at 18 in vs 520: less intensity, suited to lower-light corals); EcoTech Marine Radion XR30 G6 Blue LED (430 PAR at 18 in vs 520: less intensity, suited to lower-light corals).
