Totally subjective; T5's, halides and LEDS can all be used to support fully functional SPS tanks.

Whats best? Bhahahahaaa, let the flame war begin. Everyone has their opinions, even differently branded LED owners will throw each other under the bus.

That being said Radions all the way!!!

Lots of good options out there that will get the job done, some things will suit certain situations better than others though. What size is the tank?

After using ai sol for nearly a year currently switching to radions. Ai makes a great light, but either my parsms are off or its just not up to snuff for sps. They are both great lights as far as led goes but I think radion takes the cake.

I have sols, vega's and radions on my tank now and as for growth I would say they are equal. Now I would also say they are equivalent to the mh I used to have. I wouldn't go back to t5s or mh lights I love the led technology and the adjustability, and the old schoolers don't agree but they ride dinosaurs to work still
