hey all -
I've been running a hydra 32 over a 45g jbj AIO for about 16 months now. the tank is SPS dominant, and some ups and downs in the first year really have me just getting into a grow out stage now.
Between what i imagine to be slower growth rates, the lenses melting on the hydra, and doing some more research (including the BRS lighting series), i feel ready to make a change from the single hydra32hd.
At a tank width of ~26" it feels like i'm sort of stuck in no-mans land of light fixture sizing - i'm curious for your all's opinions on any of these options:
- orphek icon (compact or regular)
- radion's - assume that the 30 is probably the size i need + to future proof for a potential tank upgrade down the line
- the ai blade multi strip approach intrigues me
- maybe combining those with the hydra?
Anyways, i realize this topic is beat to death at nauseum on here, so i do appreciate you all providing some more experienced opinions.
