Is it worth it to upgrade my Radion XR30 Gen 4 Pro to the XR30 Pro Gen 5?

Since they are having a 10% sale on the Radion, I was wondering if I should take the opportunity to upgrade from G4 pro to G5 pro since it seems to have more even coverage.

That would be totally on you if you think your current lights are not giving you the result you wanted. I am still stuck on my gen 3 pro's.
Seems like ecotech might be coming out with an updated radions again? They rarely have their units on sale unless when they are coming out with a new unit.

I thought you were planning on getting a Reef Builders 16" for the 20 gallon?

Your coral isn't going to change any. Wait till next cycle.

Someone should do a poll to see if Radion owners change their lights the most frequently. I don't understand it. Must be an illusion.

I think it’s because we get used to spending so much money on corals it becomes part of the budget. Our corals grow. We gotta spend it somehow LOL

Been using gen4 pro since they first came out. I even used the gen5 launch to buy a couple more gen4. Doubt 5s grow corals any better. I’ll upgrade when mine begin to fail.
