Switch lights or not to switch lights

[dewboy1127]

I am currently running 2 radion gen 2 on my 72 gal bowfront dt...this year im debating to either switch to the gen 3 pucks in my radions (leaning towards this ) or possibly putting the 4bulb tek5 t5 lighting back up...what do you guys think??....i thought about supplementing a T5 or two with the radions but with the bowfront and no canopy top this is kind hard to do....please do no turn this into the great debate of whats best lighting and please base post of experiences .....i will say to i love sps

I think upgrading to the gen 3 just adds uv and with t5's you're going to have to replace them periodically. I'd go for the puck upgrade.

Is the uv on gen 3 worth the upgrade

If you must do something upgrade. If everything in your tank is happy then save the money.

Being you love SPS I would certainly recommend the T5. Possibly a 6 bulb instead of a 4.

I dont want to buy a new t5 fixture if went that route ..i dont think the 6bulb will fit over my bowfront without overhanging. ..does anyone know if the uv is beneficial to the corals ..anyone haf experience with upgrade from a gen 2 to gen3 radions
