Hello! I'm considering buying a used gen4 xr30 pro with diffuser for use on a tank with a 24"x 16" footprint. I'd like the ability to use the same light on a deeper cube tank in the future. The goal is to keep sps.

What do we think?

Another option is a used hydra 32, but the price is about the same.

Should be ok under low settings
Xr15 better
 
Low power would be recommended on a XR30.
Normally I would say XR15, but the XR30 will give better spread.
