Getting the itch to replace my lights-they are radion g5 pro xr15 about 5 year old-

Wondering what to do-do something -do nothing-find a used xr15 to give a little more light-mixed reef 180g, corals are fine but would say are not exploding with growth-parameters are fine

Nitrate 13.5
Phosphate .13
Alk 7-i’d like it higher
Calcium 500
Magnesium 1350
Salinity 1.026

Feedback on lights-suggestions

I would do nothing. Your tank looks good and well lit. Any change you make to your lighting will just stall your corals growth as they will need months IMO to readjust to the new lighting.
 
dont change anything. if you had light demanding corals or were seeing bleaching/darkening or excess algae growth it might be a different story, but it looks like most of your corals arent super light demanding either (from the pic)
