I'm trying to "go for it" with MarineDepot, but I've been waiting 2 weeks for my lights and told I would get this week, but no, now it's next week... Maybe you guys can give Marine Depot a little more stocking love.

They have lights on the way as they sold out of their first shipment. There are plenty of lights leaving our dock every day for the last two weeks so finding G2's won't be too difficult.

The PAR readings listed above are plenty to grow any type of coral. Sanjay Joshi has frequently discussed that PAR readings at the bottom of an aquarium around 150-200 are sufficient for the majority of growth requirements.

The G2 provides approximately 20-25% more peak PAR than a G1 with TIR upgrade. The difference between the Pro and G2 is mostly with respect to the addition of the violet channels. There will not much as much of a difference in additional intensity as that between the G1 and G2. When you consider the price of a G2 is $650, it is a clear winner especially compared to competing units.

Why is the G2 more powerfull then the G1 if they both use the same TIR lens
 
What is the color temperature at 100% for the G2? I guess with the royal blue XTE it must be higher than 12k?

I was the 14th Pre-Order for their first shipment and I didn't get one. I was very surprised they didn't get 14 units for pre orders...I was able to get one from Bulk Reef Supply with ease.

How can just 10 extra watts of power equate to 20 to 25% more output.
after you said that is does you then make the statment that there is not much of a difference between the two. 25% is a big difference so which is it.. Also are you hinting that the pro will look the same as th G1 G2. Can you do me a favor and show the difference between the G1 and G2 Par wise.:reading:

As I answered you above the new G2 has more advanced LED's which can output more light for a given wattage. LED's have advanced quite a bit in the last few years and continue to do so.
 
Yo Tim,

I have a question for you.

I live in Canada but purchase my products from Bulk Reef Supply. What happens with Warranty issues and utilizing the upgrade path for the Radions? I'm not going through a Canadian Distributor.
 
I'm on the list! Why isn't there a zero option?

Also the price drop isn't going to happen I'm guessing. BTW, I have read may negative post but the way you guys are handling the upgrades is why I buy your products.
