So I’m starting to gather the need items for my upcoming tank upgrade. I’m going to be setting up a Waterbox 7225. It will be an SPS dominant mixed reef. I was planning on using 4 xr15s but I just saw the Hydra 32s are on sale and I can get 5 for slightly less than the 4 XR15s.
So now I’m torn about how to best spend the money I’ve budgeted for lights. My internet is to mount them at 7-8 inches to limit light spill wish is why I was looking at the radions. But I having the extra Hydra may compensate for the narrower beam?
I’m setting up the tank in the middle of the great room in my house so I’m trying to limit light spill as much as possible since it’s going right next to my couch and don’t want to be blinded. I also don’t want a large hood over the tank as that would eliminate the sleekness of the rimless waterbox... Choices choices.
I have zero experience with radions so it is a bit of an unknown. I’m currently using 2 hydra 26hds so I’m familiar with them.
Any thoughts or experience is welcome.
