RADION XR30W g3 vs. Hydra 52

[peter fumo]

i have a 75 gal tank (48x18x20) with a cross bar. my canopy allows me to mount my lights 7" above the water, i'm up grading lights after a tank crash and was trying to get some feedback . either 2 (RADION XR30W g3) or 2 (Hydra 52's or 26's) i would mount them length wise

I have the Radion XR30w Pros and absolutely love them.....unfortunately I cannot offer any more input though since I have never used the Hydras. I am sure either light would work just fine.

thats what i was thinking, but i might go with two Radion XR30w Pros and two VORTECH MP40WQD QUIETDRIVE so i can control everything with REEFLINK WIRELESS CONTROLLER but thats really expensive and haven't made up my mind yet

Good luck with whatever you decide there are both a great light

I have used both lights extensively. I don;t think for your application you will be disappointed with either of them. My opinion is the software for the AI's is way more user friendly. Ecotech still has some refining to do on the Radion portion of Ecosmart. Just my observation so far.
