Giesemann Infiniti Light Spread

Need to Light a Cubeish tank 30x24x21 do you think a Giesemann Infinity 24" would do it or does anyone know what the light spread is, I thought I read somewhere that it would spread up to 27.5 inches.

Thanks

I'm struggling with the same issue but I'll be lighting a 58g RR which is longer lengthwise. It was pointed out to me in another thread that the type of reflector in a fixture like this will not give the type of spread that a pendant would which is something to think about. I've done an awful lot of research on this fixture and haven't run across any spread specs. You may also consider the Elos Planet II as it is a wider fixture front to back (designed more fo a cube type tank) and the T5's should give a better spread in this respect. Since I will be doing only soft and LPS I may end up going with the 250w and hanging it high enough to get the best spread I can.

My tank is 48x32x20 and I have the 4ft Infinity. I have no problems lighting my tank. You can extrapolate the spread from my figures. Btw, I have the 250w version.
