Still can't decide my lights!!!

[SirKevinD]

Hey everyone! I'm upgrading to a 24x24x24 cube next month and I'm stuck between two lights. A maxspect razor 140W(?) it the 27' 10k model or the radion Gen 2. I'm thinking one of either will do great for SPS on top and LPS zoos on bottom. Please help with this decision because I'm just stuck.

I would go for an AI Hydra 52, but the radions are really good, too.

mh/t5 combo with 24" reefbright supplement. if LEDs go with the EverGrow IT2040's 1 unit is well more then a enough and its under 300$ fullly programable and comes with remote. really an amazing light bought it from ocean revive a vendor on here. got 2 units on a 65ATM and its reallly amazing.

 

[SirKevinD]

Well, I appreciate the suggestions of
Other lights but I'm asking which of the fixtures I should go with that I listed above.

 

[Rob&Gab]

maxspec is POOOOO POOOO if its those 2 choices go with the radion Gen 2

 

[SirKevinD]

Ok, why do you not like maxspect? They seem like a good brand to me. I have been tottering back and forth. Each YouTube video I see, each person is very satisfied.

I have the razor with a mixed reef and its awesome with no complaints at all

 

[SirKevinD]

Reid429, do you see good coloration and growth? How does the light cover the tank?

 

[Rob&Gab]

that was words from my boy that has them, I do like the coloration with the radion Gen 2's there sleek look and design is well built and the service for them is so easy to deal with if you need any help with your lights. the colors on the coral are truly amazing and growth is good from what i hear.

 

[SirKevinD]

Hmm, ok thanks. This has been the hardest decision with my tank thus far haha

 

[reid429]

I have great coloration and growth on mine. I actually hung the lights so now I can run them near max percentage. They are super bright and cover really well. I have never heard the fans come on EVER as its jut never hot at all. The built in timer has 6 presets to set your full lighting cycle so no need for a controller. I love them

I have 2 10000k over my 90 gal mixed reef. I can't say enough about them, my corals have responded unbeliavably in size and coloration. Able to ramp up and down the blue and whites as you wish. Soooo easy to operate, for 2/3 price of gen 2. You can tell there just well built fixtures with awesome customer service. Never had any issues whatsoever. You have to watch with the gen 2, a LOT of unneeded bells and whistles. Not quite sure what the member above is talking about with the maxspects, hard to find a bad review on them, plus there a lot more sleeker than the "boxy" gen 2.

Look around though, there's quite a selection of fine led lights out on the market today. I love my razors but there's others out there that will work just as fine!
