Radion or hydra

[Wd40]

Got a deal on two used radion gen1 or two used hydras. Don't know which one i should pull the trigger on. Any help would b appreciated...

 

[Tyreef]

I like the Radion

Whats the price difference

I like my Ai Sol Blues but have been thinking about upgrading to Radions

I have a Hydra and I love it thus far. The new Director is great (albeit has a ton of features that aren't necessary).

 

[Wd40]

Not much to be honest. 25$ more for the hydras
R the radion gen 1 full spectrum??

 

[Wd40]

....?

 

[keysfishfinder]

The Hydra is very very nice and the options for timing are excellent, does the Hydra come with the remote or director if so then the choice for me is Hydra

 

[cadugauch]

i love ecotech...but love the Hydra!

 

[Wd40]

No controller or director...

I really like our radion pros. I can't compare them to anything else since these are my first leds.

If you already have ecotech pump get the lights to match

If not I think I'd still lean towards ecotech

Just like Lacy the radion pro is my first led, but i am very happy with the output, colors, and controllability.
Liked it so much that I bought 2 more for the aquarium we are looking for.

Good luck

Which one is more user friendly? Since I've never used LEDs before....
Also, the hydra has UV lighting. Does the radion gen1 have that aswell?
Is that something I need?

 

[Wd40]

Ohh n it will be a SPS tank...
Thanx

you can't compare the Radion Pro with the Gen 1s though...they're totally different lights.

 

[Wd40]

That's exactly was I thinking.. I know the pros have UV light. The gen 1 doesn't.

I love my hydras and my director, but since they don't cone with a controller, I say get the radions and order reef link to controll them, especially since there is rumors that it also will control the vortech pumps.

For those using the hydras how long have u been running them and on what corals...
Thanx
