LED and SPS Success

[Hentz]

Forcefully downgrading to a tank here soon.

Both options are a Reefer 170 and a 45 Marineland Cube.
Both cubes obviously.
Both roughly 24x24x19 (Marineland) and 24x20x20 (Reefer 170).

My tank would be SPS dominant with the ZEOvit method.

My aquascape will consist of a single rock island that is roughly 17" wide by 14" deep. All of my SPS will be placed on that rock, nothing on the sides or anything like that.

I would be buying anything crazy expensive. Most expensive I was thinking of purchasing was a Radion XR30w Pro Gen 3.

Looking for your advice though. I've read and read and read.

I've had success with both Hydras, Radions, and Reefbreeders in the past.
My only thing, I can't hang anything. Has to be mounted on the tank.

Would like to hear your personal LED success with SPS on the following:
Radion XR30w Pro Gen 1-3
Hydra 26/52
Kessil 360we

These are my preferred choices.

Keep it LED only please. No hybrid setups or anything other than these lights, please!!

Thanks for your help.

I like kessil, something about the "in-house" idea of diode supply. I also like the red sea idea for your tank. Seems a bit more polished than the biocube.

I have all kessil 360's and they would be my last choice for sps. Too much shadowing

IMO, although you dont want to go that high in $$ spent(which you will spend anyways in sps), you should consider the G4 Radions. One will do your tank and long term you will be happier with results.

Just use multiple Kessil's.

I love them because you can AIM THEM. [emoji41]

Honestly, the best SPS tanks I've seen used either T5 or T5/LED combo. LED's don't bring out the same colors in photosynthetic organisms like full-spectrum lighting options like T5 and MH, IMO.

That dimension tank I would do two hydra 26hd mounted crosswise
