Hey everyone, I am upgrading to a DB 80g(rimmed) 48"x24"x16". I cannot decide on lighting. My tank will be mostly SPS, and I want to be able to have amazing growth(let's assume lighting is my only factor for growth). I am debating between 2 Radion G2's or an ATI 8x54w. What would you guys recommend and why? I need to decide this week. Thank you for your input!

no I agree for sps t5 is gonna give you better color but growth is very slow and almost unnoticed if your looking in the tank every day led is much brighter and that's were you will get the most growth a combo is gonna be the best choice but if you can only have one I'd take led but good led s nothing compares to the actinic blue or shimmer effect
