Hydra 26 t5 hybrid or upgrade to xr15s

[Addictedreefer87]

Looking for some advice. Trying to get a little more par and was looking for some input. Currently run 4 hydra 26 hds. Was considering adding a t5 hybrid fixture to the hydras or selling them and upgrading to 4 Gen 5 xr15s.
Tank is a 210 gallon mixed reef a little over 50% is sps. Top of the rocks max par reading is right around 180 with ab+ full power light schedule. Lights are 12 inches from water.

Go with the XR15s and don't look back, or look at the bank statement! They're worth the $.

I know the quality of the radion is better and colors. But will it get me more par than a hydra and t5 hybrid combined? Trust me I wish I would have just spent the extra 400 and got the radions in the first place, my lfs thought they were doing me a favor by saving me 100 bucks a light when they talked me out of radions.

Technically, both options will work. Take a look at this:

So I eneded up ordering the 61" T5 hybrid and figured I'd give a par update. 1st picture is just 4 hydras running the ab+ schedule. 2nd picture is ab+ with the t5 hybrid running 4 blue+ bulbs.
