Radion schedule for SPS

[OsiViper]

Well since its not really easy or feasible to switch from my Radion to T5 anytime soon. I am curious what schedule you guys run who have Radions?

Not exact % but spectrum and times.

I'm curious to hear what others have to say and hope you get some helpful responses. I switched from T5s to Radions about 5 weeks ago and really am still only using the presets. It has not been the most smooth of transitions. I would like to learn more about scheduling and good options for the lights and my (very few) SPSs. Thanks for asking! I hope I can learn from your question too.

I use Kessil A360we's and I can say that you need to start low and slow. You're not going to kill anything with too little light. My local fish store has two radion xr-30w's and they burned everything in their tank. Needless to say their radion lights are very dim compared to what they were. Think of LED's as light sabers. Use the force wisely. :lol:

Can you actually grow SPS under LED only as well as T5's? I've had such good success with my T5's, I'm scared to switch. Haven't seen any really nice LED only SPS tanks.

Yes you can if you plan for the shading.

Start low and work your way up. You should be able to run the fixture at 100% if you take a few moths to get there.

As a side note to the OP, I did a search for Radion and came up with another thread with lots of responses that is a "Share your Radion Graph"
It's not all specifically SPS, but I did find a lot of helpful responses there
