Hello.
I’m going to get a tank which has dimensions 160 x 60 x 45cm, which is roughly 5.5 x 2 x 1.5 feet.
I already have 9 Radion XR 15 Pro here (don’t ask why), 5 G4 and 4 G5. All G4s have diffusers, the G5s don’t.
I plan to go for 90% SPS in this tank.
Would you guys do 4x 80W T5 with a bunch of Radions (6-9) in the middle?
Or do you think it’s a good idea to buy an additional G5 and do 2 rows of 5 Radions each, with alternating G4 and G5?
so it’s a bit like

G4 G5 G4 G5 G4
G5 G4 G5 G4 G5

the additional price would be similar/comparable, option 2 (led only) can save me the bulb changing hassle.
what would you choose?
best regards
