I am curious to see if people are using these. I have 3 over my 180g tank sps dominate. My colors and growth have been pretty good. I want to switch to gen 4 pros wondering if anybody has switched and got better results.

I have three black boxes (Galaxy Hyrdo) lights on my 72"x24"x24" tank for around three years. They do well but last year I added a T5 kit. That made all the difference in the world. I thought everything was great, but the T5s definitely took it to the next level. I have looked into upgrading to a branded LED fixture, but don't see the value versus the black boxes. Adding the T5s however is a game changer and am very happy with it. If I was to change lights I would probably go all T5s. I feel even with diffuser, LEDs still create hot spots and low spots. I don't find that with T5.
Do you have pictures etc? I’d love to supplement with T5’s but have no idea about ballasts, how I would hang them, etc
I used aquatic life t247 black boxes for a year. Never really had crazy coral growth. I changed to a360we and t5 hybrid. I know its not gen 4 like you are asking but I have to say some of my corals have been growing like crazy with the new lights. I had 4 heads of AOI for 3 months and they never grew a new head. Now that I have the new lights I have 10-12 easily within a few months.
