AI Super Blue Sol vs Radion XR30W

[jorjef]

Hello Mr. Element

See above reply, it's really reduces it down to the most basic and I think correct answer, anything after that will likely based on personal preferance to which the answers are endless. Just for the record I have AI and like them, no regrets.

I have done a bunch of reading on numerous boards about this very thing. It pretty much came down to the Radions being a slightly better alternative, but really not enough to warrant the price difference. If price is not that big of a concern, then go Radion. If you are trying to save some money, definitly go AI.

I think that is the most basic of answers. If you have lots of money, go with the Radion. Unless all your furniture is white and you want things to match. Then go with the white model of SOL.
I don't think a different thread is going to produce any different answers.

Both are great lights, each appealing to slightly different markets. It doesn't sound like you're worried about money, and if color isn't an issue, go with the Radion.

Alright, thanks for the info guys. Will two Radion's suffice in terms of coverage? How high should I mount them above the tank?

[Aquattro]

2 should do just fine. I'd start at 8" and adjust to suit...

2 will be pleanty on that size of tank. I have 2 over my 120gal & there is lots of light

Alright, here's hoping I won't regret this $1600 dollar decision. Any last minute input before I pull the trigger tomorrow?
