you can do what i did. get a XR15, not the XR 30, for the main source of light, and then get a cheaper blue LED strip light at an angle, to fill in the shadows and offer better coverage. or get a kessil and a blue strip light. best of both worlds. you get the awesome spot light for sps, and fill in coverage of a strip.

WWC, top shelf, Tidal Gardens all use Radions or Kessils. They all swapped over from T5's. Those are some of the biggest coral sellers in the country. T5's were king. But i think the king lost his throne haha.
