Experience with XHO-K30 vs T5?

[nkkm]

Hi all

I currently run two Radion XR30 Gen2 (non-pro) on a 36x24x12 frag tank. This is an SPS only tanks.

I want to supplement these lights for more coverage and spectrum as they don’t have violet/uv.

I was set on getting an Aquatic life T5 to supplement but I’ve seen the XHO-K30 designed for the Radions. Anyone have experience with them for SPS or opinions between the two options?

i have been checking out actinic bars. I was looking at reefbrite but went with SN reef. Have not gotten them yet but look like they have the highest par and they use Cree diodes. Great prices too.

Reefbrite "actinic"..

Cheapest and most stable source of violet +UV is tubes but most of those only have a minor amount of true UV.
Reefbrite t5..

I picked up an Aquatic Life T5 today so will look into the ReefBrite tubes. How do these compare to ATI Actinic?

I have the 26 hooked up to one of my hydras. I’m pretty happy so far. Only downside so far is more wires to hide.

Thanks, be interested to hear what you think. Are you mostly SPS?
