EcoTech Marine Introduces the Radion XR30w LED Light

[wipe]

I have the same problem with my 2 radions. It has nothing to do with the egg crate, its the units themselves. At low intensities (1-10%) radions behave differently. To such an extent that one could almost consider no 2 radions alike. I have one that never turns off once it reaches a low intensity, and another that turns off early once it reaches a low intensity. And while they are both on, they have different spectrums coming from them. All I can say is that ecotech is aware of the issue and hopefully the future software update will fix the problem. I wish they'd hurry up and push it out though.

WHEN? SOON... I feel like a 6yo are we there yet? Its annoying they have a mind of there own in low intensities.

when will be the next software update on the Radion ?

How many would a 5' x 3' x 27" tank require?

Would anyone happen to have the dimensions of the cord and connectors? I am going to use conduit to hang 4 radions on a 250; if possible I'd run the cord thru a drilled hole into the conduit down to the stand. Thanks

That is pretty awesome! I am hoping for similar results! I
bet all of the growth is doing a number on your Calcium and Alk levels!

@David which mode do you use for your radions? Natural or Artificial? Could you share your program?

Thanks, Bas

 

[david00061]

It is Artificial. Lights on at 6 am 9am 20k(100%). 12 to 3 100% with with all lights. 3:30 back to 20k (100%) lights off at 8:30

The reactor keeps up with the calcium. I have to drip 184 ml soda ash in a 24 hour span

they were all ready a colony, so that helps

looks good David. Natural setting is pleasing to the eye (except the green dusk dawn) but not for growth IMO.

I use Natural Mode, and it grows SPS and LPS quite well.

Thanks, David, for the pics. It's very encouraging. Can you also post a before and after FT pic?

The cord from the unit to the power supply is 10' long, and the plug which connects to the power supply is fairly large - I would say slightly less than the size of standard grounded outlet plug.

The cord from the power supply to outlet is 4' long.
