Share your Radion Graph!

[cjfishbone]

I have a Radion Gen 2 with wide angle lenses and was having trouble dialing it in since moving it from our BioCube to a Nuvo SR-60. I was having trouble with corals browning regardless of what I tried over the past three months so I called EcoTech (which I should have done in the first place). They made a couple small tweaks to my schedule and the corals are starting to cold up again after only a week. Here's my schedule.

Much easier to test for everyone if you post the schedule with the graph!

I attached the schedule that goes with my previous post if anyone wants to try it. Just delete the .txt extension and it's ready to import.

Whats the height of your Radion from water level ?

mine is 13

Whats your Tank dimensions ?

 

[zaskar]

my dimensions : 40X27wX21h

What type of Radion and how many ?

My tank is 36x18x21 and I have 1 Radion Gen 2 Pro with Wide Angle Lens. It's currently sitting 12" above water. So I'm trying to figure out. With the wide angle lens on would I have to lower my radion closer towards the water level ? To compensate for the wide angle lens.

It's currently 12 inches above the surface of the water, which is where EcoTech suggested hanging it to work best with the wide angle lenses and schedule.

I was told that it should be at least 8 inches above the water with the wide angle lens. Unfortunately mine is only 5 inches off the water due to my canopy height . I'm running one Radion g3 over a 65g tank. It's 36x18x24

@ milto29 : i've just 1 radion G3 Pro without wide angle lenses.
It's currently 13 inches above the surface of the water.

i use graph of Cakeman and I wonder what this graph was given elaborated 'cause I find that the rate of red LED is too present and scientific studies have shown that too much red was bad for corals

I'll post letter on when I get home my graph. It's the High Growth graph. I just modified it to my liking. I'm still in trial and error with my Radion. As I only have had for about 2 weeks now. I do see that all of my corals are opening very nice. Zoas are multiplying , Green Bubble Coral is looking like a ballon , Green Star Polyps are spreading and my Red Mushrooms are doing excellent. I have noticed a Very Big difference comparing my old cheap LED lights to 1 Radion and a good difference. I just want to get the Radion perfect for my tank.

I just got my radion gen3 pro installed on my 28 jbj nano.I have it set in acclimation mode for 4 weeks max intensity 40%.It is 5'' from water surface.So in acclimation mode will it reach the 40% now or at the end of the 4 weeks.Also if anyone has a good graph for this size tank,would you plaese share it. Thanks

The value that you set in acclimation mode is the percentage of the maximum value that you set for your lighting schedule. For example if you set the max intensity on your schedule at 80% and you set the acclimation value for 40% then the light will increase each day over that 4 week period until it reaches the maximum intensity of 80%.

Ok thanks aqua1dude.I think I set it up for 40%,so I need to go and redo it.Think being that small of a tank,should I start off at 20%.I had a 150 mh 14k phoenix de bulb.

You can check out my schedule

Is it in this thread.

Yes sir but I'll reupdate it when I get home from work

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

Ok Thanks,I need to also figure out how to change it from 10k to 14k etc.

I'm putting the same light and lens over my 54 corner tank, and Ecotech support told me around 9" from the water.

With my canopy and the brackets I made, it's going to be right at 9"......that's leaving 1" of space between the light and top, got lucky.
