I'm going to pick up a Radion G5 this Black Friday if Ecotech has a sale. My tank is an Innovative Marine 25 (24 x 20 x 12). I have a few acropora with an AI Prime HD. The acros are hanging in and growing but the color just isn't there. For example, my red planet and christmas miribilis are turning green. Fox flame is pale. Other easy acros like slimers growing just fine. I think the lights just aren't strong enough.
It's a mixed reef and I just have a couple of acros now but I want to keep acros near the edge of the tank as well. Probably will have about a dozen acros. Rest of the tank is mainly zoanthids and a few LPS like a favia or torch here and there. The XR15 will probably do the trick since the tank is very shallow but I want to keep a few acros near the bottom or edge. I also don't want to be out of luck with I end up needing more power down the line...where it be because I turn the whole tank into acros or I upgrade (although unlikely anytime soon).
So...
1) XR 15 or XR 30 for my case?
2) Blue or Pro? I do like to run my tank a little blue for the color but heard Pro is better for growth?
3) Another option I am exploring is getting a XR 15 and adding another down the line. But I don't see any ways to mount 2 XR15s on a 24" tank unless you do DIY.
