Radion XR30 Pro, Radion XR30, or Radion XR15 W/ Aquatic Life 4xT5

Which is your pick for a 24" x 24" tank. Also, can someone summerize the difference in the Pro and non-pro?

Thank you!

Anyone with a 2’ x2’ cube running radions?

I was running an xr30 on my 50 cube. What are you planning on stocking the tank with?

Acros eventually. Why did you stop?

Here’s the difference in the radions.

Switched back to halide.

I got the 60 gallon cube with an XR30 g4 and AL t5 hybrid. It depends on what’s in your tank,my light is about 8” off the water on the AB+ setting an 100% intensity.

I think the pro has two more channels warm white and violate i decided to go with xr 15 just because I have only used radion in my past tanks for led and had good luck with them but I am thinking about adding AL t 5 for my new build once I buy the rest of my xr 15 witch will be a total of four radions but its hard on my wallet lol

Didn't like the growth or color?

Are you finding it to be sufficient? 8" at 100% is about maxing out you PAR.

See, I think I am leaning towards the ALfor supplement as well. Granted, I guess I could do that at any time.

My rock structure is about 12” up or halfway and Im slowly converting over to sps tank. With these settings I’m getting about 350 par to the top of my rock. If you watch the brs video on the XR30 it explains a lot. I added the T5’s for better coverage and a more uniform spread.

If it helps, we have a Red Sea 350, 48" x 21" tall and started with AI 26HD's, updraded to a pair of XR30 G4 Pro and then down graded to (3) XR15's. I was never going to use the full potential of the XR30's. If I could do it over again, I would stick with the XR15's. Another thing about the XR30's is the fan is on 24/7, even when the light is off, drove me crazy!
