All-

I have a Reefer 450, SPS (High end) heavy tank. Currently have a T5 hybrid fixture with 4 Hydra 26’s. I just upgraded / bought 3 Radion XR30 G4 Pros. I can fit those 3 + 2 Hydra 26’s on the hybrid fixture. But debating if that’s “too much” light and if I should just use the 3 Radions and sell all the hydras.

My inclination was to use 3 + 2 and reduce intensity and get better distribution.

What does this group think?

3 Radion XR30s plus T5s are plenty of light for a tank that size.
Considerably more than you need, actually.
