I’m looking to get an XR15 for a 60 gal hex that I just got. Plan to do some softies and zoanthids. How will a gen 2 do vs a gen 4. If I can save a hundred bucks I’d rather do so.
XR15 g2 vs g4

How old is the gen 2? For a hundred dollars more I would go straight to the gen 4. The gen 2 will get the job done but I wouldn't want to see it fail in a couple years when you could have had a gen 4 right off the bat. Could be wrong though.

You’re not wrong. The g2 is new, but just wanted to get a feel if the g4 packs that much of a difference.

Yeah it looks like a typo it was only on one site I found.

Oh really. I played around with my buddies gen 2 xr30s a few years ago but have never bought or ran radions long term so I never knew that.

And get the diffuser, the light will look so much better and have much more even coverage. Watch the brs video with the xr15 and the diffuser. I ordered the diffusers immediately after watching that video and I could not be happier.

I appreciate the pointer, but I’d rather save the 50 bucks. I haven’t cheaped out on anything, but the diffuser doesn’t seem like a luxury that I couldn’t live without.
