Hi guys. I was looking for some input on my lighting upgrade….. so I currently have a Red Sea 750 xxl as my main display and have a 61” T5 hybrid light fixture from aquatic life. This fixture has 4 80w bulbs and I’m currently running an old aquatic life LED in the center of it. I’m looking to finally upgrade it and was looking into mainly 3 options. My plans for the tank as I’m still working on planning out coral options and locations are a mixed reef with mainly softies but some sps on higher parts of the aquascape where the PAR levels will satisfy them.
Option 1 - T5’s and (2) Radion XR15’s spaced out on the ends of the T5 and (1) Radion XR30 in the center.
Price $2020 (including diffusers)

Option 2 - T5’s with a 50” reefbreeders V2 fixture mounted in between the gap on the T5 fixture which I’ve seen fits perfectly.
Price $899 for Pro and $715 for V2+

Option 3 - T5’s with 3-4 kessil 360x’s with dongle.
Price $1,536

Any input or advice is appreciated. Thanks everyone!
 
Reef breeders photon is a fantastic light with little to no field complaints
 
I do hear great things about reefbreeders but the only negative thing I do hear is discoball effect / hot spots… anyone know if they have a diffuser?
