Hi guys, I would need advice; in a 120x55x55 full sps reef, which combination of radion g5 do you recommend? also which variant to choose? blue or pro? With diffusers or not?

2 g5 xr30
2 g5 xr30 + 4t5 54watt or 2 led bars
3 g5 xr30
3 g5 xr15 + 4t5 54watt or 2 led bars

Because the price of the phone has nothing to do with price of light fixture in this hobby. It's that simple.

What's next, pack of mysis shrimp for $50 bucks because a single lobster dinner is $50+? or an automated flake feeder for $3000 because your Toyota is $40k. Think about how much sense it does NOT make.

Or How about a timex watch compared to a Tag Heuer, I settled for a Seiko but some will settle for nothing less than an Oyster, BTW thats a Rolex model

I heard the G6 will take pics and have Siri.

Sorry... I meant 120x55x55 (cm), not inches

That hanging kit is fine, the only difference involving brackets are the ones that cover up the NOW top fan on the XR30s. Older RMS kits wont work and will require these:

FYI, the spacing for the mounting holes for the G5s are exactly the same as previous models.

Awesome! Thanks! LOL I almost left the hobby this past month and now I'm pre ordering new lights. Crazy hobby!

Good news on the mounting holes, I am in need of another G4 pro (actually a few more) but I don't have room in my hybrid aquatic life unit. Instead of trying to land a cheap G4 XR30 I may see how the spread looks on the G5. If it's better I can eventually swap one of my older G4 PRO out and overcome my issue of needing more light but not having space.

I assume if the mounting hole patterns are the same I would need nothing extra to mount this in the hybrid fixture (using my existing G4 bracket).

The existing G4 RMS slide mount would cover the fan on the New G5s. Resulting in overheating. Unless you were using the hybrid fixtures mounts. Then you should be good.
