Thinking about updating my leds to something newer.

Got my sfiligoi led when it was releases in 2011. Its 160w but it has 80% white and 20% blue Leds and 3 RGB. Dont like it all that much.

So what and how many should I get for my tank? Tank is 29.5x22.44x19.7 55 gallons (75x57x50cm 210L)

Kessil 360x, AI Hydra, radion xr30w pro? Or maybe changing one bar at the time on my sfiligoi to Orpehek or2 60 bars ( same lenght is the bars in the sfiligoi )?

Thanks for any input

Changing them to or2 would be simple, do you feel like you have to go led?

All my tanks 2005-2011 was t5 reefs ( 1050 gallon has T5 and Mh )
Allways loved the T5 but now when I have seen some of the nice led tanks the t5 looks a bit ”flat”

since I have been away from the hobby for 8years my eyes are still used to a more white spectrum and im still not a fan of the super blue trend I see right now.
Did see some super nice photos of the Orphek Atlantik V4 gen 2 and really like it. Looks to give a nice amout of par for a sps tank also.

So right now I think orphek atlantik V4 or changing my bars in the sfiligoi for or2 one by one and spread out the cost..

As we are waiting for this tank to stabalize and get filled with sps frags, here is some throwback photos of the 1050 gallon tank.
