I have been looking for an upgrade from my 3 165w Mars Aqua black boxes.

It's a mixed reef with mainly lps but also montis.

One issue I have is my tank has 2 large supports down the middle of the tank that cause shadowing.

What lights would you reccomend to have the least shadowing?

I have been looking at
1. 2 Orphek Atlantik V4s
2. 3 ai 52 HDs
3. 3 radions
4. Adding 4 48" lightbars from orphek

But I'm open to any and all suggestions. 20190308_200858.jpg

The prices are so varied that I'm not sure if they are all comparable in performance. I've read countless reviews, but not too many people have these braces like I do.

Thanks,

Adam

If you looked at the Radions, also take a look at the Mitra LX7206 lights. Better color blending due to a M/H parabolic like reflector in each of the 6 pucks.
