So folks it's time for a little guidance on lighting.

Do I get Radion xr30w pro gen 4 or Kessil Ap700.

I will probably need 4 of each

Let me know your thoughts please folks

Cost-wise - they’re about the same. For Par, you’re looking at Radion. If you want great blended lighting with fantastic shimmer- ap700
Ap700 is set it and forget it. Radion requires programming and patience.
Im a lover of orphek lighting personally

No best just personal preference. I suggest make a quick list of needs and go from there. Both grow coral very well.

If I was shopping for a LED fixture, Orphek Atlantik would be at the top of my list to research. My preference with LED only is to have them spread out instead of a puck.

I have the Kessil 360x and love their output

I have 2 X Orphek Atlantik compacts. But one of the power supplies has blown. I find that the control with the Orpheks isn't that good unless the app is better now

There goes that idea! First hand experience certainly trumps random internet advice :)
