I am thinking of leds reef builder v2 or hyrdas

I’m running the v2 and have no complaints about spread. They definitely pack a punch 35% blue and 15% white and I think its still too much
 
I'm looking into Reefbreeder Photon v2 to replace some old AI's. I havnt found a bad review yet
 
A 48 inch Photon V2 is 220w, a Pair of Hydra 52HD is 240w total.
Since you are not running them at 100%, the difference may not be that big. The price difference is very big.
The Photon v2 comes with hanging hardware and legs, the Hydra does not, which also affect the final cost.
I can assure you that photon v2 is more reliable than Hydra52HD.
 
I have A 48" v2 I keep it on 14k 80 % it's more than i need nice light and very quiet.
 
I am running four photon V2s over a 80 gallon (48"x24"). I run the blues at 85-90% and white at 40%. Have had good luck so far.
 
I run a 24" V2 over my all glass 32 gallon. The thing is amazing. My only gripe with it is not being able to log on from my laptop and change the lighting schedule. You have to use the remote which takes a little time, but wouldn't defer me from buying this light again if/when I upgrade tanks
 
+1 on the reefbreeder v2. I got one from Dong 6 months ago and have been very happy with programmability and spectrum quality. Great light for the price.

Also got Photon v2 from Dong and they're a really good light, doubt Dong would use an inferior light for his setups.
 
I had a Photon V1 a long time ago and it was a phenomenal light stuff grew great in my 45g, I upgraded that tank to a 65g and the 24" fixture I had didn't really work well( I couldn't hang it in my apartment at the time) so I upgraded to kessils
 
I've been running a 48" Reefbreeder Photon V2 for a little over a week now. I replaced a non dimmable Amazon 8x T5 fixture with it. Only up to 35% max right now. I was seeing less color in all my corals under the T5's, was running ATI bulbs, already seeing better color. Time will tell.
