I am going with Orphek Atlantik V4. Starting with 4 of them and see how it goes.

You know I saw those in person, and I wasn't really impressed by them. Seemed to require an abnormal amount of them for full coverage and the color rendition was only marginally better than the black boxes. HOWEVER,

I have seen the tanks on youtube etc that are running them so it might have just been the person's tank I was viewing or their choice of color setting. I look forward to seeing what you will do with yours.

I have seen them in person. Mike @greybolt03 here has them on his tank and they look great. His tank is 72 X 24 X 30 (h) and he only has 2 on it. The coverage is good.
I did a lot of research on these before pulling the plug on them like 30 minutes ago

That’s awesome! I’m really looking forward to seeing more and more top tier manufacturers put out competitive lighting.

I spent about a year with my radions giving them the ole college try. I like them a lot and there’s no doubt that they grow Corals. Enough so that my new build will be using the radions I have plus one or two more.

I have determined though that I will be running T5 along side them to make sure I don’t have shadows and even coverage on my new tank.

My problem with radions is the "pucks". I was never a fan of pucks. I like the bulbs spread out like in the fathom led I had before.

Finally the lights are up. New toys to play with for weeks

I like the stage setup on right side . As a whole it is great looking.

Very nice. The chromis seem to be schooling.

 

[MadReefer]

Looking good.

[Mrx7899x]

That works looks good

 

[Sunny]

Thanks folks. I cannot wait to put some corals in the tank. Ironically it was Aug 2017 when my tank leaked. It has been a year and it feels like it was yesterday

 

[Sunny]

Here is an update on the tank. Not many corals yet, but got some fish in there.

Enjoy!

Looks like you have half the ocean in their Sunny.
