I have found this hobby is not something you skimp on. You get what you pay for. When you think about the money invested in corals spending extra to have great light does makes sense. One does not have to buy the lights all at once. You can add as you go.

Following what looks to be a 2 year product cycle, I wouldn't expect anything until at least late summer to fall of next year.

Also, with rumors and rumblings in this very thread about how the G5 may be a complete departure of the prior generation Radion the form factor, it wouldn't shock me if they wait until the beginning of 2019.

We absolutely love the Gen 4 lights. We have 3 of them on one of our 8 foot x 4 foot farm tanks and the corals are doing amazingly well. I thought we were going to need 6 of them and it turned out that we only needed 3 of them to grow pretty much anything we put in the tank. SPS corals down the middle and corals with lower level light requirements are closer to the edges of the tank.

How many radions I need for my tank 120x60x60 (cm) full sps? What is the best schedule?

Lol! What more could you want that the G4 doesn't provide! I have a 2 foot deep tank and mine is only at 45 percent use. I'd love to see that tank that needs the G4's full capabilities!!!!

I run two pros on a 36" x 18" x 21"

The tank is full sps, maybe 35 pieces. They colored really nicely, and I just bought a new pro adding two other ones for a 150 gal sps heavy. Total of 5 pros on a 60" tank
