Lights for Red Sea Reefer 350?

fltekdiver · 05/11/2019, 02:27 PM

I just set up a Red Sea Reefer 350, and tossing between
AI Prime HD+, Hydra 26HD, or Radion XR15 Pro's

My tank is 75G and 48" long, 20" wide, 21" deep

My rock work is 1/2 way up for coral placement

I dont like goosenecks, so the A Arm is a must

Any suggestions, I don't have a Apex yet either

What kind of coral do you plan on keeping and what’s your budget?

Mostly LPS with some SPS

I'm looking into.the new Red Sea led 90 watt, and Hydra 26's
Looking around $800 to spend

Of the two choices, I’d personally lean towards a pair of the Hydra 26 HDs because each fixture has 2 pucks whereas the Red Sea 90s look like they only have a single puck per fixture. When it comes to lighting tanks strictly with puck style LED fixtures, the more pucks you have the better, for greater coverage and shadow reduction.

Yes thanks

I just posted yesterday looking for 2 Hydra 26's

I think that would be a good choice

Thanks for the help
