? to Split the room 1 Radion vs 2 Hydra

[TangerineSpeedo]

I am not asking with one is better, I am asking which would you use.
Situation for my 40 cube 24"x 24" x 18" deep. Mixed reef, Leathers, Torches, Hammers, Stylos, easy sticks. etc.
Right now I have two 24 HD's, but yesterday I picked up a G3 XR15 upgradable to Mobius. The light saw little use.
The tank is fairly new, so I don't have the whole switching lights out issues.
Which would you choose?

I would just pic the light that you think looks best and run with it. The both going to grow coral

Either option will grow what you're wanting, with SPS at the top, but I'd personally go with the 2 Hydras to have the option of transitioning to SPS only. You'll be able to crank them up and they'll blanket the whole tank with SPS levels of light.

Thanks! I was leaning that way, there is just more spread. (4 smaller pucks vs. 1 bigger one) Also I can go with these:

How long ago did you order them? Do you think he can stick to the 2-3 weeks lead time?

It's been a week. From they were saying when I posted to the Reef Builders thread, they're going to be shipping out soon. Like a few days, but I'll be patient if it's a little longer.

personally, hydra. the only light that i have experience with. as mentioned above, you can just upgrade the lenses of your 26’s

I have a hydra and radions. Not sure if I have a preference. One if my tanks is similar sized as yours, 24x20x20 that I am switching to sps and have a 24" 4 bulb T5 hybrid with 2 xr15 pro gen4 mounted in it. I just wasn't getting enough par out of a single xr15 except dead center so I added the second. I had the light tho or I probably would have made due with one.
