Led of t5 for sps

[Golfman12]

So I got a nuvo 40 from a friend to upgrade from a 10 gallon. I would like to get back into sps with an sps dominant tank. In the past I always had t5s over my sps tank and loved the growth but leds intrigue me. I have been trying to decide between gen4 xr30 and 6x24w ati. Can anyone with these lights or tank steer me in the right direction?

If you can get a used 24 inch ati fixture I would go with that. But if you cannot I would definitely not buy one new when a single led fixture can cover the tank pretty well. Basically I am saying don't invest fresh money on brand new t5 kit. Used is ok tho. My thinking is a 24 inch long t5 light is so not useful when upgrading to a 3 foot or longer tank. Led is.

Around my local area no one even wants a 24 inch t5 light.

Yeah I was looking at the aquatic life fixture but it's the same size as the tank footprint.

I guess for that aquarium I would go with full T5 option
