Anyone Thinking of Dumping LEDS and going back to Halides

[ostrow]

Alton,

Thanks for the reply. I might have to look into the Radiums then.

Anyone else running 20K Radiums care to post a tank shot?

Thanks

No way it's too blue. You do want to use an hqi ballast with them (overdrive them). I switched from reeflux as well. I also run with dual super actinic vho, because I find it's not blue enough. With T5s it will be crisp white.

Thanks for the info.
I ended up getting the Giesemann that I was looking for. I'm running (2) 250W DE Phoenix 14K set on the HQI setting. This fixture also has (4) 54W T5s and I running (2) ATI Coral Plus and (2) ATI Pure Actinics.

With in 2 weeks, the corals colored up, growth took off, the overall appearance look so much better.
For reference, I had (3) Radion XR30 G4 Pro with diffusers running the AB+ at 80%.
