Lighting Options

Planning my next tank (A Red Sea reefer 250) and wanting to do a true mixed tank with 20% softies, 40% LPS and 40% across and other sps. I've been planning the tank but can't decide between a Hydra 64 or AP9X. What are your experiences/opinions with these lights? Do either grow Acros well? I prefer the AP9X from an aesthetics POV but I'd rather go with a light that will actually grow Acros. TIA!

I'm a kessil fan. Ap9x with an LED bar down the road.

I love Kessil's, but you're going to need some supplemental lighting, I would choose Quanta Helix bars.
