I have a waterbox 20, which is around 1 year old now. The tank is doing great, the corals have solid color and good growth and the fish are all happy. The colors look solid. I live in a small apartment, and my tank gets blasted with sunlight for about 3 hours a day. I try to put the shades down but they're not blackouts and allow a good amount of sun in which throws off the color a bit making it look more white than blue. One thing holding me back from switching the lights is the tank is doing really well, so why make a change?

I am considering switching from an AI Prime16 HD to a Radion Xr15 pro. $500 for light is expensive so I am trying to understand how these lights compare, how much better the Radion really is and what I can accomplish with a Radion that I can't with the AI prime.

@NanoReef54 this is really one of those times where I’d say if everything is working well, then I wouldn’t make a change. Personally, I only make changes if it will help solve an issue.
