Radion what K you guys running yours?

[brad65ford]

Hey guys I've had my Radion Gen 2 for a few months now and I'm constantly trying to find a happy medium for my SPS. The growth and colors with the Maxspect IMO are much better. Just wondering what your K's you guys are running during the day.

Ive only had the pros for about 3 weeks but from what everyone was telling me i run them at 12k for 5 hours then have them fade to all blues/uv for another 3 hours

Can you share your graph with me?
thanks

I really dislike the look of 12-14k, love the 7-10k look the best.

Ok guys next question.

How high above do you hang your Radion? Also what percent power do you run yours at also?

Right now I'm about 20" above the water and running 80 percent for only a fews hours mid day. For some reason it looks as though its not as bright as my Maxspect but I still don't want to fry any of my sps's.

10" 75% Max. Ecotech recommends 12" i believe?

I'm no expert but i believe corals can only absorb a maximum 5 hours of daylight so that's why i only run all the channels for 5 hours. since i totally like the opposite, i keep them on all blues for my viewing pleasure :celeb1:

Wow that seems not bright, how many radions are you running?

 

[trueblackpercula]

Only 1 and its geared towards color over intensity. But I do have it set at peak at 20 k for 4 hours.

No problem let me know what you think. I have been getting good color overall and I love it.

I've lowered my Radion down to 10" from 16" and also changed to 20k for morning and night, then 12k for a 4 hour mid day. I keep hearing that SPS will go very well under 20k is this true? If so i'm assuming then that's what you guys all are running your at during the day?
