Redsea reefer 250 36x20x21 will mostly be SPS I have gone Over many many options and have narrowed it down to 3 choices
2 xr15 G4
2 A360
2 A360x
I choose these because I can add a aqua life hybrid later if i need it for added coverage.
The only thing I don’t like about the Xs is I can’t control them with my apex. So if you had to choose out of them 3 what ones would you take?

Have you done any par readings? Are you growing any SPS? How do you feel about the app?

If your going to get the T5 hybrid eventually just go with the lights that you really want. I like the shimmer of the A360we but the Radions do put out more PAR even though they are both 90 watt lights. Happy Reefing!

I have 3 prime 16’s on my 250. Had them since October and they light the tank real nice. Sticks up top and LPS down low. Not on the list but just throwing it out there. Down the road thinking about the hybrid dont really need it but I kinda miss t5’s. I have never done a par reading
