Lighting Dilemma

[Manose]

Here is the Situation,
Just starting planning for a new tank (Nyos Opus G2 440) 49.2"L x 21.7"W x 20.9"H
I own 3 xr15 g5 blues barely used with this 36in t5 fixtue:

This is a nice hybrid fixture and yes it has great legs that will fit good on a 48in tank. But I recently learned about the Reefi UNO 2.1 and the power they have and wow!!!
Should I keeps the 3 xr15blues and use them or sell them and go with 2 Reefi 2.1 or go with the Reef Breeders 48in?
This is a hard decision as I have 1 upgrade kit already for my for my radion to go from g5-g6 blue
Please give me your ideas (the fixture will only hold 3 G15's)

This is a tough decision. I have a reefi and its a great light, but you have the upgrade kits and radions are good lights also plus the t5s. Id be tempted to use what I have in your case. Depending on how far out you are on setting up the tank you could try and sell what you have and if you get hits or sell it for a price you are comfortable with you could get the reefi. Any light will need supplementation so having the t5s on hand goes a long way too. Although you could probably mount the reefis in the t5 fixture also.

The Reefis would fit in this fixture as they are 7.24″L x 5.64″W x 1.73″H and the radions fit easy at 7" L x 7" W x 1.5" H.
I had 4 xr15s and I knew that I could only fit 3 in the fixture so I sold one plus I am a ways out on the build as the tank has just been shipped.
