To add more light or replace?

[musaabi]

I have 2 xr15 G5s pros for 3 years now. Tank is a redsea reefer 350. I’ve been lps heavy and now wanting to get into Sps dominate tanks. I cranked my lights up to 100% and and measured light output on the top of my rock work and only getting about 2-230 par. I’m aiming for 350 par. Should I add more xr 15 g6 and replace the lens on my current g5s or sell my current lights and get (2) xr 30 g6? The plus side to xr30s is I only need 2 cutouts for mounting brackets and less wire but $1700. Adding more lights I’ll have to reconfigure my canopy and add more power supplies but would save $460… what would you go with?

If you have room for it, you could add 2 x AI Blade! They do a really good job; will definetly beef up your current setup!

$1700 is an awful lot of money that could be better spend in my opinion!

Reef Factory has been introduced in the US now. Their LED strips are stupidly powerful!

I saw they released a ton of stuff but haven’t heard of them before. Need to do my research and will consider.

Orphek has some excellent blades on sale right now you could add too. Any options listed seem good for different reasons but with a wide range of costs.

I agree with just adding some AI blades! You can spend 2k or Like 900-1k and just add some blades on

If you have the cash you could go with the 2 G6's and sell the G5's. Set for the future.
