I currently have a Red Sea Reefer XL 200 with a reefled 90 light. I am not a big fan of this light and want to replace it with a better one. The lights that I'm currently interested in are the following:

BEAST MODE SPS LIGHTING BUNDLE (1-Illumagic X4 + 2-Vitamini 23" + all accessories) Illumagic Link

Or

Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED with 21" AI Blade grow and 21" AI Blade glow​

Or

Radion XR15 G6 Pro LED with 21" AI Blade grow and 21" AI Blade glow​


I'm really leaning towards the Illumagic bundle as it's significantly cheaper and I have the pixels on my 14G peninsula, which I like the color and it makes my corals pop. Does anyone have any insight or advice on the above choices, or if anyone has another light that I am unaware of I would be interested to hear more about it as well.

Thank you!

I would consider T5 in that mix. Nothing more proven to grow sps

What don’t you like about the rs90? I’ve had it for a while and it’s growing anything from zoas to torches and chalices

I had t5s back in the day. It seems like the led strips have caught up and are very similar now.
You don't get the diffused lighting and reduced shading.

I have it at 65%, I thought about adding blades too but like you said there isn't any products to use for that.

Not yet. I'm going to wait until after my vacation so I don't fry stuff while I'm gone. I'm leaning towards the illumagic bundle right now.
