We did have a chuckle, as part of the install is to add two clips to hold the wire harness away from the LEDS.. Something that obviously should have been done during manufacture

Shelley, thank you for sharing and glad to hear that the new lens are making a difference! I hope to have mine changed over once the replacement light arrives.

don't forget to reduce the intensity so that your corals get used to the new lens. If possible share some pics to show the difference...

Recieved the replacement radion for the original replacement radion this evening.unlike the first time, the package arrived in a reasonable time. I have set the new light along with the new TIR lens for all three units. The replacement light seems to be working properly along with the two original lights and the light program seemed to work fine in demo mode. Now to test to see if it can run a full cycle without any problems...

As for the TIR lens, they seemed much brighter, better spread and able to reach the corals near the bottom better. I have toned down the intensity level at this time to 70% and will monitor and increase the intensity level gradually over time.

Just picked up a Canon 5d mark iii DLSR and took some pics of the tank and corals at time when the Radions were transitioning to night settings. I have to say that I am very impressed with quality with the following pics taken at 3200 iso except for one at 2500... No photoshop required.

Your tank is filling out so nicely!! I'm really questioning your idea of adding mini maxi anemones tho..

Wow buddy!!! Tank is filling in fast. It's looking more and more like TOTM!

I think it's about that time to submit your entry!

Hey Wayne, I've been really looking forward to seeing your tank. Wow looks great. Can't wait for you to have a frag swap of your own. And as usual great photography. Skills.
