How are you liking those ATI Strattons? What made you go with them over let's say Radion Gen 5"s or Orphek Atlantik V4's?
I love them, I'm dying for one more. Ideally I should've had 4 all this time but unfortunately things don't always work out.

Anyways, I tried Radion XR30 Gen 4s on my 150 cube and although the design on the Gen 5s is totally different, I really hated the spotlight effect of them. Relative to price, they don't seem to offer nearly as much coverage. I figured I'd need at least 8 XR30s to get decent coverage over my tank, which is about $7300 with tax.

The ATI Straton is just a beautiful fixture in comparison, silent due to the passive cooling. Sleek design, it's honestly no thicker than the diameter of a nickel and one fixture covers 30"30" with no issue. Even at retail if I bought all 4 fixtures they're still cheaper ($4,750) than Radions and much better quality IMO.

My other choice was ReefBreeder Photons V2

Lol...I have the reefbreeders photon V2's running down the middle of my tank with a pair of Orphek 60" OR3's in front and a pair in back...angled in towards the center. Each pair of OR3's is made up of a Reef Day and a Blue Plus. Did you consider the Orphek Atlantik V4 gen 2's?

That sargassum trigger is nice; hopefully he’s a little mellower than the niger trigger lol. How’s the tank coming along?
Yeah he's pretty mellow, I would say exact same temperament as a bluethroat.

Tank is coming along nicely though, still kind of settling but overall I can't complain. Won't be able to get the same stability as my other tank for a while but thay was set up for almost 10 years.

How's yours?

Good to hear! You’ll be on cruise control before you know it.

My tank is doing well…finally hitting my stride with acros.
