Going Led and I said I never would
Radion Gen 4 Pro x10 and I have been impressed with the colors that these lights bring out in SPS in comparison to my T5 Led Hybrid setup.
After 6 months with both my Frag Tank connected to my 400 and my Quarantine on Radions and the coral doing great I have found the time to build and wire my light rack. The rack will be mounted above my Peninsula on Island Drawer Slides that allow the light to be pushed 24" either way to get full access to the top of the tank with nothing hanging from the ceiling.
The 10 Radions are mounted on Ecotech Slide Rails that are angled in 5 degrees. I built a tray that holds all the ballasts above the light and they are powered by a 10 outlet power strip. 1 cord for all the lights that will be controlled by EcoSmart Live. At 100% this would be 1900 watts and almost 16 amps, but they will be very low to the water on the Coral Lab SPS AB plus Setting at less than 50%. I went with more lights because they sit 9" off the water and I wanted to limit shadowing effect. I will try to get some before and after pictures when I get the light installed in the next few days.
How do you make the pictures smaller when hosting on Imgur? Sorry and in the background is my first attempt with my son to set up a freshwater planted tank. We Added a DE filter in this am to clear up some cloudy water.
