With the new Radions coming out im planning my next build and want to start gathering materials. Whats lights do you use on your system? Do you like them?
Ocean Revive t247 on my frag tank and ReefLED 90s on my upcoming tank. I had great growth on my nano tank with the little aquaknight A029 led when I had it too.
I have a 265 gallon (84" x 24" x 30"), I have been running 3 AI vega color units until recently, I added 2 ATI T5 tubes which is really having beneficial effects on the tank. LEDs I am running 100% on all blue leds, 35% white and 25% on red and green. I researched and came up with those settings and just recently went to those settings so I don't have any feed back if they are really right or not. My thought is I don't have enough light still. I would love the new Radions but at 840 each that's 2540$ for three. ouch
mars aqua led
Those are like the black boxes right? How high do you have them over the water?
@Jthouse92 yeah, theyre 12-14 in above the water.
@Josh M I've thought about trying two of them over my frag tank i want to build.
Radion Gen 4s. i got them when they were on sale recently. so far, theyre great.
Are you using the reeflink to control them?
No, just the ecosmart website. A small pain to have to plug my laptop into one of them to program them, but I kind of just set it and left it at AB+.
I have a single Noopsyche K7 on my 25 cube. I’ll get another one once I get switched over to my 80gal frag tank. Might even do a hybrid setup.
T5 hybrid with Kessil a360x. I like the shimmer of the Kessils but I've seen Radions elsewhere and like their color better.
Are you using the Aquatic Life hybrid fixture?
Yes. 48" with 2 ATI Blue+ and 2 ATI True Actinic.
What kind of heat do they give off? Ive really been considering one with a few Radions or red sea 90's
@Jthouse92 The bulbs are 216 watts combined so there's a little heat coming from the fixture but I haven't noticed any effect on the tank temperature.
