So i rented a par meter this week. Interesting results. I have decent par numbers in the middle of the tank but the sides are pretty low. I just dont think the coverage is enough for the 30” tank with 1 Radion and two small Reefbrite strips. Honestly, the Reefbrites put out some surprising par by themselves! So heres my option. Buy a 6 bulb Sunpower (sell my current lighting, probably break even or make a few back), buy a 4 bulb hybrid (sell the Reefbrite kit, take a small hit), or try that new sleek ATI Straton (sell my current lighting, take a large hit). That Straton seems to be a perfect solution to a 30” tank, pricing is just rough. What do you guys think? Im leaning towards the Sunpower. Especially if they do a deal next week on bulbs when you buy the unit! Is the dimmable model really worth the extra $?
