Radion xr15w pro advice

[percy_1981]

Hi guys, I've had 2 radion gen 3 xr15w pros on my 3x2x2 SPS tank since August. All of my parameters have been bang on coming from the triton ICP test that tests for 30 or so parameters. My lights are actually on at 95% on 12k for 6 hours a day (advice on this given by my local radion rep). However, I feel as though some of my SPS are not colouring up enough and the sounds of the fans are getting rather annoying. I was assured by numerous reps that 2 xr15w pros would allow me to grow SPS anywhere on my 3x2x2 with the wide lenses. Even on this high setting there have been no corals bleaching so i guess I am after some advice as to what setting I should have these on for that 6-8 hour period of the day. Any advice welcomed thanks.

percy,

I would recommend checking for any firmware updates on ESL to help quiet your fans. That said, if the light is running at nearly 100% intensity for several hours, you will hear increased fan noise. Also, I would recommend checking out this thread for more on how other Radion owners program their lights: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2124262

How do you check for firmware updates mate? Thanks for replying.

Percy,

If you sign into ESL, select the "Devices" tab. From there, click the "Gear" icon next to each Radion then "Firmware Update".
