Show us a picture of your tank and let us know the dimensions :)

Often, if you want qualified advice, quality information is required :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Both lights are great, but the application may be different depending on your tank.

Radion and Blade combo is the best LED setup I’ve tested and run.

I ran 5 Blades over my tank from February til just recently. They did great. I like equipment and wanted to test the combo. Super glad I did.

Start with a Radion and add a Blade later or vice versa

Depending on your budget, I reckon you'll get more flexibility and satisfaction out of 2 or 3 AI blades if those are the options you have set up already! :)

Depends on what you want to grow. I was running blades only before tank upgrade. I ran the blues maxed out and was able to keep sps
