Lighting

[reefndude]

Hey all, lookin to set up a water box 130.4. 48"x24"×20" reef. Not exactly sure which lighting to go with. Was thinking either hydra 26's or radion xr 15's.
What would you choose? All opinions welcome

Depends on what you are planning on keeping. I have similar tank and can tell you 2 XR 15's really don't have the spread I would like to see for a full blown sps tank. Plus, most true sps gurus will tell you to go with ATI fixture.

I like that light set up. May be an option down the road. Tank is actually for a potential client.
Not seeing the link. Thanks

I still use sunpowers and halides. This tank is for a potential client. She definitely likes the ramping up and down. More than likely will be a mixed reef. Thanks

Have you considered the new Atlantic V4? Kind of a bullet proof light if your customer not familiar with light spectrum
