Because the software that RC runs on is old [emoji3]

Who have used Radiant and how do you like it? I like the very gradual ramping up and down.

My shop is running 12 Radion G4's, best decision I ever made

Just preordered the light diffusers for my xr15s, can’t wait to try them out.

 

[Bronx19]

So these diffusers. I know they have been touted as a big deal, but I'm struggling to see the fundamental difference.

The diffuser will aid colour blending and reduce hot spots, but it doesn't change spectrum or the directional nature of the LED.

Edit: $65 each, so that'll be $99Aus. Its a piece of translucent plastic FFS.

 

[Mike de Leon]

I think what's really important is the more even dispersion of par, albeit losing close to 20%.
So this makes the G3 more valuable. Where does this put the G4?

 

[Bronx19]

That is an interesting point. The premium for the G4 optics may have been neutered.

 

[pecan2phat]

They’re $45 USD each.
My primary reason for the diffusers are so they stop blinding my wife who is 5’2”. With the new G4 optics, they produce a pretty good eye glare.

I seen a shop local to me today running the radion G4 and all I can say is "wow ". There is not a single doubt in my mind these things can grow coral. I had no doubt before, but I was impressed today. The color was great. He had them over the frag tanks and his display tank(which was more important to me). He has grown massive colonies with them.
Very impressive

We just upgraded from Current Orbit Marine (non Pro) LEDs on our 75 gallon lps/softy tank ... We now have 2 XR15 Pros.

The CoralLab LPS program has been imported and I have it set for a 2 week acclimation

Question is ... What should start and end intensity be (approx guess) ....I know I may need to adjust in the end
