So I'm finally getting some good lights. I'm torn between Hydra 52 hds or radion gen 3. I run a mixed tank sps dominant, acros are on the top 3rd of the tank. It's a 230 gal 31" deep. I'm planning on buying 3. Any help would be appreciated as well as pics!
 
I love my radions, I have 3 but are the gen 4s. And only 130 gal. I run mine @ 60% maybe 100% would be great for the depth of your tank.
 
I'm on the other side, I love my ai. I have hydra 26 & 52 on a couple systems and love them! Couldn't be happier with my LEDs (except every 6 months or so for one reason or another I need to reset my director, kinda annoying but doesn't change how I feel about my lights)
 
I've tried both the ai hydra 52 and radion gen 3 pro. Both are nice. But I liked the radions over the hydras if I had to choose one
