I know this is discussed probably every day of the week by newcomers and people who been around for awhile. I recently got back into the hobby after being out 2-3 maybe 4 years. Crazy how things change so fast in this hobby especially pricing.
Curious to know you guys opinions. I’m looking for lights. I’m looking at 3 Nicrews 200 watt. 3 radion g6 pros or 3 illumagic x4’s. These will be implemented into my t5 60 inch retrofit.
Now I know it’s probably overkill all this light and I don’t plan on buying or growing SPS just the easy ones like Pocilopra and birdsnest. Digitata
Just curious to know you guys opinion which lights I should go with.
 
Id go with nicrew. You can get 3 year warranty on Amazon if you but it and the price is way better.

I'm using one now and love it
 
I’m hearing great things about the nicrews. Only thing I don’t like is the controller. Then I look at polo reefs lights which he is using the illumagics. I wonder if he actually paid for them or if they were given to him. Either way they look great on his tank and I don’t think he would be putting any garbage on his tanks. Plus I love there 10 year warranty but that’s only if they stay around that long. Radions are most people choice but they have gone downhill over the years from what I have been told but yet there resale value is still crazy
