Which lights?

AI Hydra 52’s or Orphek V4 compacts for a Redsea reefer 425xl. Going to keep mixed LPS and SPS

Red Sea Reef 90s!!! Easy set-up and perfect spectrum for what you want to keep. My daughter's E-170 has a 90 and it's really nice! I had some corals bleaching under my Hydra 26 HDs and put the in her tank, they came back with better colors!

Had the same question, but I have a RSM 650. Looking at either the RSF 90s or the Blaze X.

Red Sea has the upgrade kit for the Max 650 to go to 90s

I would say hydras for what you are wanting. No need to spend the xtra on Orpheks when hydras are a perfectly good light for what you want. Hydras are also on sale right now.

How many Hydra 52’s would be needed on a 425xl then?

I know this isn’t my thread, but could I light a 36” tank with a plastic strip going through the middle with one hydra 52

Between the two. Hydras. Too many Orphek dud stories with terrible repair options.
