Default Anyone in Calgary running Radions...

That I can come and look at in person? I'm teetering on the edge of spending a ree-donculous amount on these things, but I've never seen one over a reef tank in person. I've seen one that wasn't over water before, but I don't think that's a fair assessment. I also trust online photos about as far as I can throw them (seriously, try throwing binary data...) so I'd really like to see them running over a tank, in person.

I will even bring you beer, wine or coffee.

Thanks Doug, I was in a couple of days ago and took a look. It's not over a running tank at the moment so it was hard to get a sense of how bright it would appear over water, sand, rocks and corals.

Any chance you'd be willing to let me come and take a look? I'd be really interested to hear your impressions of them.

ReefOcean is an unknown quantity at this point

There is a 300 dollar price difference between the Radion and the AI on average, is it really worth it? 8 of those LEDs (red and green) aren't even proven to be benificial to coral I don't think
