G3 xr30 pro vs mitras lx7

[newbreefer316]

Assuming cost is similar, so it's not a factor, would you go with mitras or g3 xr30 pro w/ t5 supplements over a SPS tank?

Radions just because of the T5 supplements. I would choose the Mitras if they had T5s as well.

Just for transparency, I am on the side of the fence that all LED lack needed spectrum and have shadowing issues that the T5s really help with. Not all will agree.

I'd be willing to add t5 to the mitras as well. GHL rep stated they don't need them, but that doesn't mean they would still help.

Sales reps... you gotta love them.

At least plan on the possibility, and be willing to add T5s later. A very high percentage of people with SPS, especially acropora heavy SPSers, have found tremendous benefit from adding T5s. Some folks feel trapped after buying a nice looking slim fixture and then realizing that they have a hood or retro-fit coming that they did not plan on... like they would have made a different decision if they had known.
