Radion and Philips

[Scottiemac]

72" 180g mixed reef two years old.

I have four Radion XR15 Gen6 lights in my garage with an RMS rms rail. Over my tank I have three Philips Coral Care gen2 lights mounted with an 80/20 homemade rack that mostly looks like scaffolding around the tank.

As a new Neptune adopter, I've been thinking of bringing back the Radions and controlling them with the MXM module. This will help me get rid of the 80/20 mess and make the situation a bit neater, plus I can use Neptune instead of only the Mobius app. (I know I can use the Philips lights through Neptune with some alterations and wiring).

As far as coverage and par, will I be losing anything if I go back to Radions?

I wouldn't be totally opposed to adding a 5th Radion, though I do recall that the RMS rail was already sagging a bit with four lights over the 72" span. A fifth would put one right in the middle which may exacerbate that problem.
