Ultimate Reefer
ange062: I read somewhere that the Radion is supposed to be a close copy of the Radium spectrum...my questions to you is, have you used 400w or 250w Radiums before, and does the appearance resemble the Radium colour? I know from reading Sanjays new article that the spectrum is fairly close to a Radium, though its missing the 420-400nm range.
My ultimate dream LED light unit would be one that mimics the Radium 20K and VHO Actinic spectrum...the first LED manufacturer to come up with that would have something awesome to offer the hobby.

I have not used the Radiums, so can't really comment sorry.
I've read sanjay's article as well, but not too worried about the "lost" 400-420nm as my growth and colors are great after over 5-mo of using the Radion.

Thanks Wyatt!! MP10 is on reefcrest at 80%. I switch to NTM every couple of days overnight to stir things up a little.

Im also a heavy feeder and dose AA's daily.
Wow, super tank. I am amazed at how high you have your radions set on this tank. I am doing a IM 16g nano with SPS and when I ramped the lights up to 35 percent my ORA green birdsnest bleached out on me. I had to dial them back down and am going to try ramping up again a few weeks. When you were ramping up, how many percent did you do at a time?

Thanks! Take your time, livestock is especially sensitive to LED when the switch is first made (or the livestock first transferred from under a different light source). After my initial bleach and consequent decrease to 25%, it took me 5-mo to work up to 70%.
Try a few percent once a week, maybe 3%. You will eventually hit a critical threshold where you will see the beginning of another bleach, stop there and switch to every 2-3 weeks. Just suggestions from my experience, HTH!!
