Radion Gen 4 Pro

[Salty150]

What are the benefits of choosing G4 Pro rather than the "normal" G4s??
Here in Denmark the Pros cost 144$ more than the G4s.
But why should I spends the extra money?? More watt - is that the main reason??

The Pro has more Watts and more color channels.

But is it worth 140$?? I have Pacific Sun Black Python lamps that need to be replaced

Anyone know if the Apex Classic (not 2016 version) has been updated to fully work with the G4 Pro?

My tank is 24" tall, I have 2 Radion G4 Pro's and I'm running the SPS AB+ program with whites increased to 30%.
Start of the day is 10.30 and night start 20.30.
I started with a 4 week acclimation period.

Came from 2 old Pacific Sun Black Python 160W.

Should I lower the intensity or will the corals get used to the increased light after the 4 weeks??

Which is better:
Light close to the water with lower intensity or light far from the water with high intensity??

I know that the light covers a larger area the higher the lights are hanging

What pars do people have on their sps zone? Im at 450par mid tank around sps and 600par top sps level.

Wondering if i should move down, whats everyones sps pars at?

Does anyone keep their UV channel on? I notice my corals react negatively when I have it on. Also do you keep your Red channel on?

I'll be putting a XR30 Pro on my tank (60g cube, so 24x24x24 inches) this evening or tomorrow. I'm currently running a 250w MH about ~7-8 inches from the water (all the canopy will allow). Any suggestions on intensity and acclamation periods?

I installed 5x of the new G4 XR30 pros this morning and when I had finished programming everything in ecosmart live I moved one of the lights, noticed a burninig smell and saw that the new lens had melted where I had temporarily set it down! Warning to all other people, if you are doing maintenance on these and need to set them down they can melt/warp! I know all of my other LED fixtures have gotten hot in the past, but not hot enough that the lenses started melting :furious:

Running 70% with 2x XR30 G4 pro's on a 32x32x26 cube. Curious to hear what schedule and intensities that everyone is running.
