radion gen 3 vs Kessil a360we

[christianleo]

Hi everyone. I need some help in your honest opinions. Im looking at switching from my ATI T5 fixture to either three radion xr30 gen 3's or three Kessil a360we's with controller. I've never owned either one. The only reason why im switching is because the T5 just puts out too much heat and making my entire living room warmer. Any thoughts and inputs and info would be great! Also... with the radions would I need to purchase a Reeflink to set any lighting programming?

I’ve used the gen 3’s for years and love it.

You can do Reef link, or Ecotech sells a Mobius upgrade chip for $20 that lets you do it without. I put those in my gen 3’s a month or so ago and it took 5 minutes.

Both are good choices, my tank is in my bedroom so t5 or halide was not an option because of the heat, so i went with 4 360we's. Heat is not an issue, they work great for all corals as I have a mixed reef and I'm one that likes the shimmer.
