RS Reefer 170 - Radion or Hydra 26

[LiveRock27]

Good morning,

I am starting to plan out my new tank and have decided on the Red Sea Reefer 170. I am planning on doing a mixed reef, but probably heavy on SPS(acros especially). I see there is a deluxe version that includes the Hydra 26, but I also have read about the Radion XR30. I wanted to see if the Hydra 26 would work for what I need or should I just order the tank and spend a more on the Radions and the mounting bracket?

Thank you in advance.

A hydra 26 would more than work. You may have some shadowing problems in the future but it grows most anything. An XR 30 would provide more light, pre set spectrums, and shadowing would be less of an issue.
