Radion Settings for SPS

[brittonv]

I know some say LED's are bad for SPS. THis thread is not for you...

I am looking for the people that have been successful with Radions growing SPS to see what kind of lighting profiles they are usign in their tanks.

I have a 65 gallon tanks with an XR30pro and a XR15Pro G3's.

THis is a new tank fwiw.

I run a hydra52 and feel I have good results. I can not give you particulars on the radion, but a few words of caution. Proceed slowly on all changes, take long acclimations every time you add a coral and do not be afraid to turn up the power.

I have a build thread and it includes my operating conditions for my hydra52. Take a look and see if it gives you any guidance.

I have 2 a g1 and a g3. over a 57g
Vodka dose, 2 part dose and Acoro power made a huge diff in color for me.
1st year with LED was a disaster! burnt all my corals. I didn't listen and and said to myself they're now way as bright as my 250wMH so both at 100% 10hrs a day.
I would BBQ a chicken under the the lights.....lol
Now dialed in no more then 65% 10Kfor a max of 2-3 hrs the rest of the day ramp up 20K 18K 14K for a total of 12hrs.
Everything is growing and very happy with the setup.
I don't like to post pic since so many people have nice tanks and cameras. But here a few of whats grown from 1in frags with my radions.
Problems I do have a macro red fern that doesn't go away but fish and hermit love to eat it so it could be worst.

Maybe TMI so here are a few pics

Hi,

If these are controlled with ecosmartlive, would you be willing to give us your settings? you could just export your settings, and link them here.

thanks!

Pretty Please!!

Yea, sorry for the delay but will do later tonight.
You guys will be surprise how simple of a setting I'm using.

I'm excited! Running the XR15 on an sps dominant Fusion 40. I'm running a slightly edited Radiance profile. Though would love yours!!

If possible, could you send the schedule to my email?

Nice to see some great success Alexx! Interesting to hear your running your radion at 10K for 2 1/2 hours a day. Most sps'ers mention the cool white is difficult on corals. As everyone else is asking I do would love to see your lightning etg file.

Here a zip file of the setting
Like I said read basic but seem to work for me.
I can also email it too in a non zip form if you like just PM me

Seems like I lied looking at my file. Just your basic ramp up and down.
I thought I had it set a little different :debi:

nashorn, schedule and lighting look good. I like how it automatically changes the color spectrum as it ramps up. How how is your fixture over the water line?

How does one view this ETG file?

I think it's 10-12in above the water.
