Hello all, I am wondering if 2 of the 300W models will be enough to grow softies, LPS, and some of the easier SPS such as hydnophora, montipora, and maybe pocillopora or stylophora. Not really too into acropora but may try later down the road.
My guy from the LFS says that he would never recommend black boxes, and says on a tank my size (180 gallons) he’d recommend something like Radion XR30s (3 of them). I trust his advice, however, I am curious to if there are any other thoughts on his opinion?
Another concern is automation. Radions are obviously very automatic and come with much more features than a standard black box. Once I move to college in 4 years, that will be a big concern with my parents. However, Radions will take a good 6 months to save up for IF I’m lucky. Which one would you guys recommend? Also, is my LFS telling the truth?
