I have two large reef systems both 220 gallons. I keep sps in one and lps in the other. I recently broke down my sps tank and had been using 3 Ecotech Radions for coral growth. I wanted a slick setup to grow indoors when I can't outside so I used these beasts. Each light pumps out the equivalent of 1 400 watt metal halide and can provide 100% intensity to 30 inches left and right of each light and 100% intensity to a depth of 36". The radions are usb or wireless controlled thru an app and support full customization from 0-20000 spectrum. I can run a schedule that is synced to my part of the world, plug in storms (kind of a gimmick) or I can run any amount of custom configs. Im just going to run all spectrums 100% for an 18 hour day as Im just growing. But you could config to run 6800k or 10k if youre looking for certain types of growth. Having owned 6 of these I would not go another source of led light as I had insane coral growth so plant growth should be just as sweet without metal halide or HO bulbs. I never needed any kind of chiller in my reef so these lights are worth every penny!
