Best light for a Red Sea reef 170 for mixed reef with heavy sps In the center.

Setting up my Red Sea reef 170 in my new house soon so I have to finalize things. The tank has been without a light for about 3 months it’s been cycling.

Right now I have a IM 40G Nuvo. The lights I have on hand are a Red Sea 90 and radion XR15wPro Gen 4. Now I’ve run into the issue with both lights that my SPS get shading on the far corners and that’s annoying.

I’m forced to use both lights on my Nuvo 40 because the shading is so bad on the corners..... I really don’t want T5 because I don’t want to change bulbs or hang anything from the ceiling....


Off topic: a skimmer that’s small yet powerful because I want to put dragons breath in the sump and other macro algae

Check out the Reefbreeders photon v2+. They par machines and you won’t get shading. Plus you can easily add a lumenbar. Great lights

I recently purchased a 170 and am going with a AI hydra 64. Possibly adding t5 or orphek bars as supplements in the future.

is there any way to add a Orphik bar to a radion or a kessil or Hydra without having to hang it from the ceiling?
