My radion settings:

How many Radions did you say you have?

 

[reefsafe]

I have ten

 

[david00061]

With 10 Radions your coverage as good as mine. Ecotech recommended I hang mine 8” above water line. How high did you hang yours?

 

[david00061]

Wow David. Such progression in a very short time. Congrats! It's beautiful!

Thank you

 

[david00061]

I just duplicated your program on my 264 with 4 radeons three days ago. My glass seems to be getting dirtier quicker but so far my corals are loving the extended day at 100%. I will keep you posted on progress

please do keep me posted. Do you have a build thread?

 

[david00061]

Your tank looks awesome. I love all the acros. Everything has great color. The growth is off the charts. :beer:

Thank you. Yes I have been lucky so far with tank. Everything has been growing great

Love the new shots David. Can't wait until I have tank up and running and get that same macro lens. Amazing shots!

thanks
hurry up and order your tank

I vented my collection for my skimmer out side. no more smell.

You vented it outside so the world can see if your skim don't stink

Do you automatically drain off skimmate and use neck cleaner? Not sure you've ever outlined what skimmer you use in the first place!?

David.... I know this has been asked already and I apologize for asking again but I couldn't find it in your thread. What macro lens are you using with your camera?

 

[syedjilani]

Wow. great built.... Nice and healthy corals...

 

[david00061]

David, I see that you are using the L version of the 100mm macro lens. Do you use the image stabilization in your shots or not? Wondering if I should invest into having the L version or not as it seems mixed on whether you need the image stabilization.

Sorry for the delay. I have not been online for awhile, this is the busist time of the year for me. Here is link for lens that I have.
there is 2 versions of lens. My lens has the Image Stabilization. If you buy the same lens without the Image Stabilization it is about half the price.

I should have responded to Steve on that one...That lens is on my wish list. Now I just have to gain David's photography skills as I'll then have the same lens/camera

Mabey We can learn together. It takes me forever to get a pic with quality.

Good to hear. I don't know many with big tanks that have the SROs. I currently have the SRO 3000 Internal in service on the part of my tank I have up and running but have been recommended the SRO 6000-7000 External on the 1000+ gallons. Have you been really satisfied?
