Lighting
I am starting up a grow out tank. It is a 36x18 frag tank. Right now I have an older radion G2 running on it, as I only have zoa's, paly's, and acans. I want to start looking at acros and other more demanding corals, and was wondering if it would be of value to change to an MH, a T5, or a combo of both, or is there just not enough value in terms for grow to switch from the G2?

I would keep the radion and purchase T5 light fixture this will bump up the pars.

You should get as much PAR from the radion as you would from a MH and more than from t5. I have a chinese 120w led fixture over my frag tank and I can keep & grow any sps. Don't waste your money.
