Led Qs
 
I have a radion gen 1

It runs 7 hours a day starting at 10k at 50% peaking at 20k at 80%

Was wondering if there's certin colors that bring greens out. I ask because I have a few pieces that were red and have gone green (sps)

Where is it located in your tank? I find red sps turn green when it's not getting enough light.

Within 6" of surface light is 10" above surface

High iron content (GFO)? Also, I find that red corals, if getting lower light than it should, turns green. In fact, most of the SPS turns green in low light before being brownified :P

LED. Tsk tsk. :razz:

Mine was a pink lemonade before and now its red planet. I find this coral to be the quickest to respond to light intensities.

Yeah it grows quick though

No Gfo in my tank. A bag of carbon (passive)

Ill bring up lights 5% to start.

And tsk tsk. I like the radion. Though I set up a jbj for Moma. Ill frag some and see what it looks like under a geissmann or radium





Tony. What do you and long use on your frag tanks and dt
