Haha this is taken at the last light before bed on the natural cycle. If I turned it up to over 10% it might have turned out better.

I have two Radions over my 48" tank and love them

Will sell for $650 or trade for radion lights

Radions rock!

ah ha! thats why the "other LED" club guys are so jealous of the "Radion club"......all the reef Girlys love Radion:mrgreen:

For the record you all still fail, my LED light is more powerful, perfect spread and has 7 channels. That's why I figure if you're not going to have the best you might as well get the cheaper option, otherwise you just paid more to loose :mrgreen:

Coming to a reef site near you....From Ecotech the latest update for your Radion system ..... "1000 and one thoughts for self affirmation" Stop worrying about what others think, what they are saying. Just click on the "I am great" tab and sooth away the fears, ease the stress. Just read one of the thousand reasons to still like yourself and one day you will be able to not feel the need to excessively argue, give reasons why and make constant "we are better" rants to justify your purchase.

If you could add lenses to the radion I'm sure u might get that 6 foot spread.

Sure you could..you just hire a casual labour guy from one of your local agencies, have him stand beside the light switch and tell him when you say "lightning storm" to start to turn the light switch on and off as fast as possible.

I am proud of you Marko, AI's all the way! Why don't you guys/gals raise the radion's to the ceiling and you can light up your whole living room with them, put them in demo mode and you can have yourself a rave party. :mrgreen:

Levi, by chance do you have a par meter to take some par reading? I am curious on real life read outs. I am getting a par meter in a couple of days and will post my findings on my build thread.

Unfortunately not, if anyone in Calgary has one and is willing to stop by I have cold beer in the fridge :biggrin:.

Hasn't it been determined that par readings from LEDs are not related to their ability to grow corals?

Ecotech needs to be mac compatible. I'd take mac compatibility over red and green lights any day.
