hello everyone! I am looking to get a 80 gallon aquarium which measures 32 long, 24 wide, and 24 tall. I plan on getting a aqautic life T5 hybrid and use a LED. The question is which led should I go with to have a sps dominant reef? Kessil or Radion? And would the 24” aqautic life be ok on this size tank? Lastly which T5 bulbs should I use? So much info out in the internet and I can’t make up my mind on what to go with!

I'm more of a Kessil fan myself due to the shimmer and spectrum. If you really wanted to go all out, I would go with the AP700. This will give you more than enough coverage and you'd be able to keep anything you'd like. I am actually doing this to my reefer250. I just got the hybrid fixture and I'm going with 2 Coral+ and 2 Blue+ bulbs. If that is too much, then I'd look at the 360(x).
I've heard good things about Radions, but I'm not a fan of the disco effect it typically gives. The tank that BRS built went with a Kessil/T5 hybrid and looked great. You may want to check out those videos.
