Hi guys, I was looking to get a used radion g4 xr30 from my LFS at 350€, but i came across The A8SE II MAX pro or blu, pp talking about it seems very happy, now I don’t know what to do, cause new it costs less than the G4 xr30 used.
I have a 50g (100cm x 40 x 50)
Can you help me? Thanks a lot🙏🏻

Yeah I wouldn't bother with Radions - They're very expensive and for no good reason when it comes down to it.
ViparSpectra, Noopsyche, Orphek, PopBloom are all better priced and are reportedly decent.

what are you trying to grow? Generally speaking, if you're working with a limited budget and want to grow "everything", you can't go wrong with the Noopsyche K7: https://noopsychereeflight.com/prod...rsylyomRc94JHQwl_0fZKTJzvBc-dCLkMl4bJD3Bl-RxH
Thanks a lot, I’m from Italy, it costs to me like the a8se blue, is it still worth it or i can buy the a8se at this point?

Right now I have 1 soft and 2 anemonies, I was willing to have other soft and lps in the future.

I generally don't trust buying stuff from AliExpress, especially when it comes to electronics. I just wonder if those lights would even be good enough for your tank. Personally, I would buy a more reputable brand like the other members have mentioned and skip the a8se's

Ok I think I will go this way, do you think are better 2 prime 16hd for 260 bucks or a g4 xr30 for 350? Both are used from privates and sold from my LFS (they guarantee 1/2 years of usage)

I installed the new update, updated the clock, and then I save the device. Then, when I unplug the device and plug it back in, everything is lost. UTC time zone reverts to Chinese time. Please help.
