Im starting up a new 120gallon reef tank and i need some help with my lights. Im moving my old lights over from my 29 gallon which are Radion XR30W. Im going to be putting the radion in the middle and 2 Kessil A360W on each side of the radion. My question is should i run T5's with this setup or should i just stick to the LED's. I have been looking at retrofit kits and would be adding 4 54w T5 fixtures if you guys think it would be beneficial. All info is welcome

If you are setting up a reef then I'd go with T5's as well.A lot of people,including myself,do it that way and are happy with coral growth.If you have a chance to do the retrofit at a reasonable price.

IME Corals have deeper colors and faster growth when under T5s. I am running an LED/T5 Hybrid right now and I love it.
