OK guys, so here is the situation... I am migrating to a 150 gallon tank (60x24x24) and am upgrading lighting. I am currently running 2x MP40w es pumps, and am looking at two options...... Bear in mind, money isn't really a big deal... I say that because the upgrade has been a nice chunk of change, but let me explain my thought...

So local reefers are doing a group buy of the Evergrow LED fixtures which I hear have some great par readings, but, yea they're Chinese, and support, etc down the line can become an issue. Granted, I more fixtures for the buck, but I really have been treated well by the Ecotech staff. They do a GREAT job if something goes wrong. If any of you own these, or have seen them chime in.... it's the i2040s. I would get three of them.

On the other hand, I can get a good price (decent chunk below MSRP) from a local reefer on the Radion XR30w Gen2s..... i would get two initially, (don't tell the wife) with plans on getting a third this coming year. I would hang a fixture above each half of the tank and nothing right in teh middle over the brace. I plan on keeping mainly LPS on the sand (Torch, Hammer, Frogspawn) some SPS, and a Mag\Gig Anemone in the future once the tank is settled. By that time, I'll probably get a third fixture...

I like the control of the Radion, not to mention the integration into the existing MP40s. That is a huge bonus to me, not to mention being able to program it via their app and control it. Also a great bonus.

So now the question of the hour... What would you do???
