New lights

[allof fish]

Looking to upgrade lights in a few months. Tank will be acro dominated but this tank is still very young. Currently have lights from amazon that do a good job and can grow acros but want more high end customizable lights. I know radions are everyone’s favorite but are the 64 or 68 hydras comparable in par and spectrum? Also for acro dominated do you like the blues or pros for radions more? I want enough blues but good natural spectrum without it being so blue. I know stration and Orphek get a good name too. Was planning on adding reef brites or ai blades to reduce shading as well. Give me recommendations and what you guys use. Thanks!

There are many other options besides radion. Once upon a time they were the shizzle but not so much these days after the company changes hands ane Mobius isn't without it's issues.
I like Reefbreeders and have had very good luck with noopsyche also. There are many other options as well Im sure people with experience will mention.
I think most lights on the market will grow coral it comes down to budget, features wanted and form factor.

Quanta Helix bar combo or Nicrew hyperreef. Also, Quanta will be releasing a panel style fixture (2 sizes) that feature the meso blue and reef crest daylight combo in one light.

Many other options over Radions for the same prices

For budget friendly I like Noopsyche. I replaced my g4 radions xr30 pros and do not regret it one bit.
All out par - halides ( I now run halides again and use Noops for supplemental)
higher end , more expensive- daula x4, orphek, reefbreeders
