Looking for advice end goal is sps so debating radion 30 or hybrid with radion
Tanks 7 long 24 wide 30 deep what you guys think

Hybrid definitely. The spread and spectrum T5 provides really benefits the health of SPS, especially as they begin to grow into colonies.

+1 with Josh. I’m running the aquatic life hybrid with the Radions and love them.

You also probably want to go with XR15 over XR30. Modular lighting is best and will allow you to spread them out farther. For XR30 you will want at least 4-5 XR30 turned sideways but I would do 8-10 XR15 for the same price. The goal is to make a larger multi panel style light if just used LED.

If going to hybrid, then I would still do the same with XR15 so you can more evenly space out the LEDs. I know they say you can do a 36" section with and XR30 but if your goal is SPS and you do not want to brown the base, then I would go at least 1 every 1.5-2 ft

Thank you guys for the info pritty sure going to try the hybrid t5 led
The radion 15 will still be good with 30 deep wasn’t sure that’s why was thinking the radion 30
Also any recommendations on fixers for the hybrids it’s 7 long so might have go with 2 a 3’and4’
