The time is coming for me to update my lighting. For quite a few years I ran an ATI 48" 8 bulb Dimmable Powermodule. It was a great fixture and I didn't have any issues with it over the years. I upgraded that old tank back in 2012 to my current 24x24x98 tank. When I made the switch LEDs were all the rage. They really came a long way and people were getting great results. I decided I wanted to go 100% LED so I bought 5 Ecotech Radions. At the time it was the original Radion XR30w fixtures. To this day I still have those original 5.
Now that it's time to upgrade again I'm having a hard time deciding between the following....
1. 5 - Radion XR30w Pro
2. 2 - ATI Dimmable ATI2611 48" 3x75W LED & 8x54W T5 LED-Powermodule
3. 2 - ATI Dimmable ATI2607 36" 2x75W LED & 8x39W T5 LED-Powermodule
I wish they made a 40-44" fixture. I'm thinking 2 48" will not fit over the tank but 2 36" will look to small. I have a lot of coral right in the middle of the tank. Having an 8" gap between the fixtures may cause shadowing over those corals. Can't decide!!
