So this is what Ive narrowed my choices down to. With the new Radion Gen 3s out, Ill be able to snag a Gen 2 for somewhat of a good deal. But is it better than the lumentek 120 that is still cheaper? What would I see better coral growth with? Going on a 20x20x9 frag tank.
 
If you can't go with at least the Radion Pro, previous version, then I would probably go with the Lumentek. The Radions have much better coverage and I speak from experience. However, the Gen 2 lacks the violet spectrum I like to see. The Lumentek doesn't have much of them, but it has some.

With a 20x20 frag tank, I believe I would go with the Lumentek.
