you convinced me. last doubt about the Radion g5

Peppe · Jul 14, 2021

hi guys after seeing the kessil and hearing many opinions, I decided that maybe for my reef it is better to buy the Radion g5. now in your opinion which is the best choice? blue or pro? is the color of the light with the sps ab + program the same on both models?
For a sps dominated reef tank 48”x24”x24” what is tech best combination?
3 xr30 g5
4 xr15 g5
2 xr30 g5 + Led bar or t5?

I am at a similar point (36x30x34). Strongly considering 2 XR30 blue with a kessil A160 or A360x in the middle.

But I am going to wait a few weeks to see the reviews of the SKY.

It depends on what you are wanting to keep. The XR15 is recommended for 18” but could do 24” if you are doing lps/softies.

I’d go 3 XR15 over 2 XR30 because of cost. I’m going to go the hybrid option but trying to decide between the Aquaticlife T5 Hybrid or the Reefbrite X Series XHO.

The newer Sky, Stratton & Coral Care all look like a tank lit with t-5 lights.

Yeah, and the owners raving about the iny tiny amount of shimmer they can still see with magnifying glasses somewhere on the sideglass. "Look how beautifull the shimmer is, i love it".
