the radions are a superior fixture to the sol or vega. the sol will have a higher par directly under the fixture but the radion will have a higher par over a larger area and a more complete spectrum. Great build and nice comparison.

Beside my lighting dilemma I finally got my Profilux dosing pump hooked up and running. Thing are growing like crazy now. My alkalinity was quite low causing the calcium levels to be high so after a week of dosing only 10ml a day of alk they are getting close to balanced. The corals have taken off, I have never had such good growth. In keeping with my initial idea of a self contained unit I had my friend Chris (lapdog2020) to build me a new top off/dosing chamber tank.....

I'm absolutely loving your setup. So well thought out and clean! Thats what I'm going for in my new build too.

My lighting dilemma is over I sold all my lights and bought 3 GHL Mitras.

I have to say they are head and shoulders above all the other lights I've owned
