Resetting up a 250 gal tank. New rock display and we added a 75 beside it through the wall . We have the sump taken out and cleaned and fixing to out it back this weekend . Just have to add the sand to the tanks and fill up with water this coming Saturday. Just can't make up my mind on the lighting either I'm going with the ap700 or the radion gen 4 pros .We love sps just not sure of rwhat the ap700 can do . I'll update as soon as I get more stuff done to it. Any input about the lights would be helpful. Would be nice to get more than one opinion

I feel the Kessil and Radions are both excellent lights. Not knowing the tank dimensions makes a recommendation difficult.

Short term you can look at putting them length wise across the tank. To reduce shadowing in the future you will likely want to turn them sideways.

The Kessils are 20" long so if your tank is 36" wide I think this makes the most sense.

The Radions are only 12" long but if your tank is 24" wide, these will likely make the most sense.

If your tank is 30" wide, it is pretty much a toss up.
