Which kind is better?

[Purpule Tang]

Hi,
I setup newly cube tank that dimension is 70 x 70 x 60 cm and not decided to which kind lighting is good for me.
I will go with lps,soft and a few sps in future ,more lps and soft.
This list of lighting that I want:
1.Radion xr 15 w pro.
2.Radion xr 30 w pro.
3. zetlight 6600.
I readed very good review about zetlight in bulk reef supply about it, but still not sure about it.
Also between xr 15 w pro and xr 30 w pro which kind good for me?
Thanks for your helping.[emoji6]

i wouldnt go for the zetlight for sps. You would probably be disappointed imo. I am also looking at the 3w bulb configuration.

I would look in to SBReef lights if you like the Zetlight configuration. However, I would go for denser bulb population.
xr 30 would probably be way too much light.

If it were me I would either go xr15, or an sbreef / evergrow / reefbreeder black box.

4x24" ati 4 bulbs is good

Ok, thanks for your guide.
So I probably will go with Ecotech marine xr 15 w pro.

Unfortunately our local store that have a distributive Ati company not have 24" bulbs.[emoji4]

You are sure that this model is enough for my tank?
Because I saw ecotech marine website and them written that this model of light just coverage 24" x 24" area.
Thanks,

I love my Radion G.3 Pro. Put a ReefLink on it and I have control via my phone

denser bulb pop. Bingo!
I pulled most of my lenses over my 20x20 cube sbreeflight for smoother spread too
but I do wonder on a radion xr 30 way up (14 18 in?)would it have enough spread & still have enough intensity/par(5- 600par min @ top). with a floating canopy.(I coat mine w silver shiny stuff) it would rock!

You can purchase 120 degree lenses for the Radions. PAR is minimally effected, 900 vs 1100, I believe. I use them over my IM20 frag tank. Run them @ 35% power.
