Should I go with radion LED or ATI t5's for a new tank. Led's would actually be less watts and save money over time due to cost of bulbs changing out evey year, there would be 10 bulbs and probably over $200 to change completely. over a period of 5 to seven years it would be the same cost as buying another radion. In that time that the radion could still be up and running. How does the radion grow and other leds grow SPS, acropora and things your tanks.
 
Both are good choices I guess it depends on what's in the tank and personal preference buying bulbs does add up but buying radions (1600 or so)does to because u need two for that tank witch is a big difference from the ati fixture (dimmable 8 bulb for 800)with will be fine for Sps good luck either way you can't go wrong

It depends on what you like. You know the costs associated with both fixtures. I would suggest looking at several tanks and seeing what you like best.
