Choice of light

[Vladimir3311]

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to choose a light for my new aquarium. Its height is ~30''
I'm planning a mixed reef lps/sps.
In the old tank, I used the radion G5 light and was pleased with the picture.
Now I'm a little confused in my choice. A new Hydra has appeared. They showed the new Ati Straton-X. Maxspect Infinite looks very seductive.
What do you think to choose at my height so that the corals look bright?
Has anyone seen these lamps and can compare the colors under them and under Radeon's?

I have radion xr30s, I think the price point has a lot of competition now. I would get something like REEFI uno or Meridians.

How long is the tank? That will determine your budget and which price point could be effective. And there's also the spread issue that you might need additional light bars for supplementation.

The tank is new.
I want to take advantage of the Black Friday and Christmas sales.
I've been recommended the Straton Pro 2. It has good coverage and doesn't require LED bars. But there's little information about them from users.

Stration Pro 2 would be good if it fits your budget.

What is the tank size? I am in the same boat. Lights have changed a lot in the past few years. I need to find lights for a 72x30x25. Mixed reef

The Straton confuses me with its static picture. It's like a T5, only brighter. And I'm not sure it won't glare into my eyes—the manufacturer recommends hanging it at least 10-12 inches high. It's impossible to install curtains there.
I'm currently exploring Mitras. They're lighter and easy to upgrade.
