It is time for a light upgrade and since SPS dominate is the goal I thought I would get the SPS guys thoughts, first a little history.
For the last 2.5-3 years I have ran a Hydra 52 (non-HD) over my 50 gallon cube with limited success keeping SPS. To say there is a learning curve with LED is an understatement! I have kept SPS under halide and T5 in the years past successfully but have really struggled with LED.
So on to my multipart question!
Should I upgrade my Hydra 52 to the new and improved Hydra 52 HD or should I take this opportunity and go to the more forgiving ATI T5 fixture?
I like the small pendant style of LED and I also have spent a lot of time learning the intricacies of LED but the T5 move is cheaper.
Is it crazy to spend $600 just for the HD upgrade, my current Hydra 52 works fine.
Thanks for the help!
