Well to get back on track a bit..

but like I said primary importance is light blending, reliability and ability to grow corals.
I have no problems w/ them picking MH.. May be the best option..
My post #24 made that kind of clear as to "tradeoffs".. just wasn't trying to be snarky about it..

People generally make their own decisions.. and hopefully base it on reality not peer pressure ....

for fun:
People can't always choose between the 2..

Radium is supposed to slightly lower output PAR wise than the Phoenix, but the Phoenix is a bit of a PAR monster anyway. Color is different. I have been tempted to try one also. Love the Phoenix, but always wonder if the grass is greener, so to speak.
Each look is different..
Besides it's NEVER that straight forward even w/ MH............
which bulb
Which ballast
Which reflector
What wattage
