Ok if you had a choice on LED lighting, or if you have any expierence in product comparision what would be your top pick?

(3)AI Hyrda 52

(3)Ecotech Radion XR30W G3

(2)GHL Mitras 6200UV

on a 72x25x28 tank 210 Gallon tank. I really cant decide i have read so much and there are so many mixed reviews on the three above that i am unsure which route to go.

judged on performance, control, growth and par.

what would you choose?

I really like the GHL. The spectral control is better than anything I made in the past. The Ecotech is a proven winner for coral growth and color but the spectrum is not tuned where us humans can see everything brightly. The AI's are also very good but most tanks look very washed out. If it were me I would go with the GHL's. But I really think that you would need 3 for that size tank.

Thanks. I got contacted by a dealer for Ghl and I'm set on the mitras. He gave me a deal. I got 2 coming and when I can afford it I'm gonna add a third. .... thanks for the input man. May decision was made when I contacted ecotech and they said I needed 5 lights to adequately light my tank. That's $3600 .... I can get 4 mitras for that. So that being said when the ghl dealer contacted me and said 2 lights plus a prolifux 3x for less than 3000 I was sold lol
