Share your Radion Graph!

[TanksDad13]

First off I think your levels are about right for the tank you have. My only issue is that you say you're running an XR30 Pro G3 but your pictures show that you are running an XR15 Pro G3. If you were running an XR30 Pro G3 over that tank at 65% you would have bleached white mush in there.

I meant XR15. When I realized what I did it was too late to edit the post. Good catch though!

I put this in the Lighting forum but think this might be the better place.

It's been about 2 months since I replaced my ATI T5s with Radions. My DT is 48x24x24 and I have two xr30w Pro's. Below are my current settings as they have been with the Apex & WXM. From 15:00 to 22:00 I started 10-15% less on each spectrum and have gradually increased to this intensity.

Last night I started using Reeflink and ESL. Trying out the Shallow Reef (Natural) template for the moment.

Looking for opinions on schedule, intensity and spectrum settings for the below Apex settings.

Where did you get the "shallow reef" template?

+1. I had the owner of the LFS log into mine and tweak it for me. He has WAY more experience setting these things up than I do.

 

[Johnseye]

For clarity, the shallow reef template is in EcoSmart Live (ESL). I have not converted it to an Apex graph, although unless I find Reeflink to be more stable which it is not at this point, I will attempt to do so.

See attached for the template

I guess I don't understand how to use these things at all. I have the Eco Smart Live app on my phone and I don't see it. I'm pretty sure I don't know where it is, IF it's on the web based side... Point me in the right direction?

Does anybody have a 30 to 36" inch deep reef? Haven't got the lights yet---on order--- but I do have about as much depth as width, and am going to be working on setup soon.

I have a 24" deep tank with the XR30W mounted on the standard stand (8"?). I have max intensity at 50% but I feel that it is too much for my sps frags. I have 4 SPS frags and another one completely bleached and dead (not sure if it was the light or me fiddling with the location too much, it bleached from the bottom up). Do I need to lower the intensity? All 4 frags are at the bottom on a frag stand.

You have 2x the or that I do, the mount put mine 9" above the water, I would tell you if your coral aren't happy, turn it down for sure!

Sk8tr....

I have had 3 Gen3 Radion Pros over my 150 deep for a couple of months. I keep having to turn them down, and am still fiddling with it. My SPS at the top of the tank are pretty bleached. The LPS at the bottom are stressed as well. I have not found much info on the Gen3 Pros, so if you have any help to give once you get yours set up, I would appreciate it. I have the reef link software and mine are mounted an Ecotech's rail system. I will export my current program and put it up in here once I get to my computer.

RE: Share your Radion Graph!

We love the community you have created for sharing graphs on this thread! Until we have this kind of community sharing directly within EcoSmart Live, I would suggest using AquaticLog (www.aquaticlog.com) to upload and share your Radion schedules. Another option is to use our Share to Facebook feature under Schedule Options.

Radion's put out a crap ton of light! I knew this going into it because I did a lot of research before I took the leap on these pricey leds. I really like the Radiant color graph in Ecosmart live. I would give that a try with an overall intensity of 50% - 60%. And turn on the acclimation for the full 6 weeks with 50% reduction. Hope that helps. Just remember.... Be patient.

If you figure something out can you share it? I am in the process of rebuilding a 230 gallon reef and have 3 XR30w Radions gen 3 I will be using.

 

[crsturmer]

I agree with fish maniac, the xr-30s are powerful! I bleached my sps at first. Although I only have 1 above my 40 gallon which is only 18" deep. I currently run them at 50% which apparently only gives 250-300 par at 4" but my SPS are still recovering from the shock.

Has anyone figured out a way to convert the ETG files to an Apex table? I've been doing it manually (which works) but it's a pain. Even a way to convert them from ETG to xml would be awesome as well. Google has failed me on this quest so I'm hoping someone else has figured this out.

Thanks for any help. Krazie

I have a JBJ 45 RL AIO aquarium running a single Radion xr30w Pro Gen 3. I am using the the shallow reef setting with a max setting of 45%. I have 12 pieces of new SPS running under the acclimation mode for 2 weeks starting at 15% and their all very happy. Still not sure what the Depth setting is all about. Also I'm still not happy with the way everything appears under that spectrum. But my corals are happy so I guess that says something. I also have very noticeable growth on some pieces.

 

[JaysLittleOcean]

Forgot to mention I am halfway through a 2 week acclimation period.

Lots of digging, no dice.... Need a superhuman coder to write a program for it and then make a fortune selling it to Neptune.... GO!

Ya that's what I was finding as well. The data is available because Neptune already has the numbers built in for the neptune profiles when you plug in a WXM. Maybe I'll just see if I can lie to the Apex and make it think I have Radion and see if it will give me the numbers I need. Someone at one of those companies has already done this work and should publish it for us to use. lol
