Take a look at mine from 1600 to 2100 Eastern (4p-9p) and see how dark it looks.

Updated Polling for radion intensity
- Thread starter trueblackpercula
- Start date
I run two gen 2's set at 9" over my 105 g mixed reef. The lights replaced an Evergrow IT2080 which ramped up over 8 hours to 70% on the blue channel and 60% on the white channel.
I'm running the Radion's at 65% for 8 hours using the Shallow Reef Program with no adjustments. My corals seem to have responded well to the new lights. I had some problems with acans burning in the past and they seem to be doing better. My Zoas continue to do well, as do my LPS. I only have a few SPS, mainly Monitpora and they look great.

Amazing
I am a beta user. That is the control screen for programming it.

so does everyone agree that running radions at 65 % should be the normal?

Normal for me, but that's just me.

I just upgraded to Gen3 Pros. I am going to try running them using the Radiant setting at 50%. Can you grow corals on that setting?

Ok I really would love for some one to post what an Sps looks like if they get too
much light and another picture if they don't get enough light. All this intensity has me confused and I keep adjusting my intensity and I am proabally doing more harm then good.
Ecotech save us from the madness and post a series of pictures so we can set out lights the correct intensity.
By the way my light fixture is 8 inches above water line and I and running my lights 20 k most if the day. I was at 65% but was told to raise it to 95% because my tank is so deep. Most of my Sps are about 18 to 22 inches from the water line. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh almost forgot I have a g1 fixture with TIR lens.

Jumping it from 65% to 95% is a huge jump.
I hope you took several months to do it.
Considering that such a small % of people who voted in the poll are at that high of a intensity, sounds risky.

I just started it and I used the acclimation more set to four weeks is that good or should it be longer?

I wouldn't go that high, but I'm not into sps that demand high intensity.
Going that high, my guess would be to do 5% a week.

I voted, the highest mine is right now is 55% and I've seen great growth so far...might add another 5% in a month or so!
