That last pic really shows that you've increased the intensity quite a lot on the lighting. Once you're running 100% all the time I'm sure growth will be even better!

I totally agree! Radions are the best lights I have ever owned. I bought both AI and Radions to compare the 2 and I now no longer own the AI's as it was a no brainer.

David,
Just wanted to let you know that between you and a local reefer here who kindly let me see them over an award worthy tank, I'm confident enough to spend the cash on those lights. Thanks for keeping such an awesome journal.

Thank you
Your gonna love the lights. I do. I would call ecotech and get the recommended units for your tank size.

so you buy replacement bulbs for MH lights for the next 8 years. Pay for electric, pay to cool tank-house back down??????
Are they really that expensive?

This quote relies on that leds arent gonna broken or malfunction
I found a solution on electric bills, I quit smoking and am less watching tv and this way I can compensate cooling the tank and using T5's Beside jokes, I loved your build log. Thanks for cheering my saturday while I am looking after my flu caught wife

I am really pleased with the results. It helps too that I have never missed a water change. I do 20-25% every two weeks.

I thought they were supposed to be released right after MACNA but I am guessing they were delayed due to upgrades/additions to compete with the Radions maybe?

Hey david I was wondering, how deep do you have your sps? I have one unit over a 37 gallon (23" high)...Have great growth on the top 14" but my lower acros are less then impressive. I know your cross spread with 12 radions definitely helps, just trying to figure out lighting for a 65 gallon and if 2 would be sufficient

they are mostly 14" up. I need a par meter to check my tank. With 12 lights spreading over tank I get good color with the sps on lower part of tank

Those are some nice growth shots. I see once the radions dialed in fully they have definitely shown great results. Bad news is my tank wont be set up when you arrive.
