Any input to help me decide on my lighting.Choice is between Atlantiks V4 or Radion pro.Tank measures 72×36 ×32 high.SPS build Figuring 3 Atlantiks would cover it

I only have experience with Radions, I really like them, considering adding T5 with the new hybrid unit. I would look into that as well. Bulkreefsupply just did a video on the Orpheks and it was great overall,

Yes I watched it which prompted my indecisive swing .Love Radions but the new Orpheks look tempting .

I have the Radion pros. Love them. Don't know about the other lights.

Hopefully some users of both will chime in with advice, good luck whichever you choose. The radions also will soon have diffusers if you go that route.

The Orpheks are multi emitter and will by nature have better coverage.

Bigger light source , less shadows.

I am running the orphik v2 on half my tank and a radion g4 pro on the other half to be honest with u for coral applications the orphik blow the radions out of the water when it comes to growth and color prduction in the coral its self but the radion as far as easy use to got the app is more advanced and user friendly when you wat to show off your coral pop and the colors they use are much deeper blues to the human eye and more apealing to us my buddy bought the v4 atlantic and if your doing sps it is the best way to go i have used an ati sun power 6 bulb t5 and kessil a360we and have to say i want the new orphik v4 atlantic but the wife wants the radion g4 pro

I am running radion g3 xr30w's and also running ecotech mp40's. I just like the convenience of being able to program them to sync up with each other.

The v4s are very impressive. I just saw in person for the first time last week. It will be the new light for my mixed reef tank. Im still sticking with MH and T5 for the SPS tank. But the Atlantik is very impressive.
