What do you use on your display? Sometimes it's advantageous to match them.

Do you want LED only?
Budget?

Now,

what light would u put on it

6 Bulb T5 probably.

I have 10 xr15 radion gen4 .I would like them to be gen 6 .I was thinking of getting 2 gen6 and swap them out with 2 gen 4 on the main tank ..how would it look noticeable?

What features do you want, how do you want to mount them, do you like shimmer, and what is your budget?

I think you should consider doing kessils or kessil hybrids if you love shimmer. Otherwise, noopsyche, ai blades, reef brite lumi lite pros (blades and lumilite have little to no shimmer) and such are great for not breaking the bank. If it were me, I'd add two 48 inch lumilite pro (or 4 lumi lites) actinic and then if I wanted shimmer, add pne or two single point lights such as the kessil a160we or used a360x. There are also cheap knock off kessils on amazon that you could do too but I have never used one.

Gen 6 have more spread, but less punch than the Gen 4.

A quick glance at your build thread, looks like you know more than most of us about lighting and corals.

If you haven't looked at Reefi Uno 2.0 yet, I would check them out.

The reefi uno extreme might be a good option as its on sale last time I checked.

I'd also recommend the T5 as previously suggested.
