I am starting a new high tech 60 gallon (36X20X21) and was originally looking at the XR15 freshwater Radions since I am running the XR30W Pros on my reef. I love everything about them except the price. Also, after doing some research, it doesn't appear that anybody is using the Radions with freshwater tanks? Anyways, I am now looking at either the Finnex 24/7 Planted Plus or the Finnex Ray 2. I like the different color spectrums and the ability to dim that the Planted Plus offers but I am not sure if it is strong enough to grow some of the more light demanding plants? I plan on having a carpet of probably Dwarf Hairgrass with a few other larger specimen plants mixed in. Although I would like to start off with a light that can handle everything, the strength of the Ray 2 (and the single color spectrum) scare me. Which of the two lights would you recommend?
