Light Upgrade Choices

[Ianfaulk]

I currently have a Red Sea Reefer XL 200 with a reefled 90 light. I am not a big fan of this light and want to replace it with a better one. The lights that I'm currently interested in are the following:

BEAST MODE SPS LIGHTING BUNDLE (1-Illumagic X4 + 2-Vitamini 23" + all accessories) Illumagic Link​

Or

Radion XR30 G6 Pro LED with 21" AI Blade grow and 21" AI Blade glow​

Or

Radion XR15 G6 Pro LED with 21" AI Blade grow and 21" AI Blade glow​

I'm really leaning towards the Illumagic bundle as it's significantly cheaper and I have the pixels on my 14G peninsula, which I like the color and it makes my corals pop. Does anyone have any insight or advice on the above choices, or if anyone has another light that I am unaware of I would be interested to hear more about it as well.

Thank you!

I would consider T5 in that mix. Nothing more proven to grow sps

What don’t you like about the rs90? I’ve had it for a while and it’s growing anything from zoas to torches and chalices

I don't hate it. It just doesn't seem to have the same pop that the other lights seem to have.

I had t5s back in the day. It seems like the led strips have caught up and are very similar now.

You don't get the diffused lighting and reduced shading.

Is intensity at 100? Ima Jerry-rig some ai blades to mine since no one makes a kit for them

 

[Ianfaulk]

I have it at 65%, I thought about adding blades too but like you said there isn't any products to use for that.

Did you decide on which light?

 

[Ianfaulk]

Not yet. I'm going to wait until after my vacation so I don't fry stuff while I'm gone. I'm leaning towards the illumagic bundle right now.
