Upgrade from Radion gen1?

shingo43 · 03/03/2016, 07:01 PM

I bought 2 radions gen1 when they first released, I think it's like 5 years ago.

I have a mixed reef with 70% sps.

The corals are doing ok, I've upgraded a lot of other gears over the years like return pump and circulation pumps, so I wonder if it's the time to upgrade the light?

The radion pro gen3 looks very nice and I do see people have very positive reviews, but they are too pricey! Should I even consider Hydra HD 52? Other than those any other suggestions?

The goal to to have better color and growth, the gen1 is great but it doesn't have uv or yellow.

Thanks.
