Amazing specimens sir,

Are those the Rock Flower Nems in the picture? Do you have any closeup shots by any chance? Any for sale? I've been looking for some for quite some time but stopped because was told there was none available during summer time because too hot. Please PM me your number, I purchased some ric's from you before have any to spare to a fellow reefer? :redface:

*SUBSCRIBED*

Thank you haha. I do have a couple I can let go of. However I'm attached to these guys. There's around 30 of them in there and they are very happy. But I'll definitely cull a few that are similar out if your interested send me a PM!

I know for mine, I have to connect to EcoSmart and plug in a USB. There you can change down the intensity.

Let me know if you find a ReefLink. I'm looking for one too. lol:lol:

I have been using Radions since day 1 and still just use the original desktop Ecosmart Utility on my laptop with the USB connection. As often as I adjust it, certainly no justification for getting that ReeflLink. Also, have tried the various Artificial modes and files with different settings. But have come back to the simple Natural mode where you just set % and depth, and let it do the rest with ramping and spectrum mix. That has worked best for my coral color and growth. I do keep an Artificial setting that I can switch to with the press of the button. It highlights the color pop of the corals, and sometimes I turn it on just to impress visitors. But that setting is not the best for my SPS if I leave it on.

Thanks for the feedback Walter. Fortunately I don't have any sps in this tank at the moment. I haven't had a very pleasant experience with LEDs and sps in the past. This tank will mainly be for my rock flower anemones and some exotic lps :)

2nd day in and tank looks happy so far... *fingers crossed*

That's my electric fuzzy blue mushroom... But if you ask nicely maybe I'll share some with you :mrgreen:

Well you certainly have some fancy LPS (and softies) there... I'm sure they need a lot less light than SPS, so you should be able to really dial down your Radion. There are almost an infinite color spectrum/brightness adjustments available, so for LPS, you can probably just choose what makes for the brightest color pops,... or make them glow... haha.

I've just started getting some semi fancy LPS (trachys, wellso, acon, fungi plates, etc) for the bottom of my tank. They look nice, but will need a lot more to be really noticed. This could be an expensive undertaking for me... Need to sell more SPS frags so I can afford the LPS...lol.

I can see why you and Albert are going for the nanos,... lot less bottom to cover.
