Set Up Help?

Newbie to the forums!

After about two years away, I am finally in a place to come back. Had a 150 Tall FOWLR. Starting slow, thinking of doing either a 30 or 45 JBJ RL reef tank.

Want to have the option of putting anything into this tank, from softies to SPS.

Planning on MP10, ATO, Tunze skim.

Struggling with a decision on lights. I have gone back and forth several times between a Radion 30, Maxspect Razor, or a Kessle 360W. Given price differences, I would love some input. I don't want to buy something and then have to upgrade later, but also don't want to plop down 6-700, when I am already spending a fortune......

Thanks in advance for any input!

From what I have read, the Radion would be the way to go, since I have never read anyone complaining that they had to upgrade later down the line. It also has the most controllable of the bunch too. Good luck. I personally will be going with the XR15 once I upgrade the light on my NC 28G in the future.

How much spread will a Radion 15 have? Would it be sufficient for the SPS in the 45 gallon, given tank is 26.5 by 21 by 19? And thanks for the reply!
