Radion owners speak up..

[Aqua-Digital]

In regards to software, Ecotech have said from day 1 that the software will be first released with not all functionality available but will swiftly work to adding more features as swiftly as possible

Radion Software
Unlock the full potential of the Radion XR30w with the EcoSmart Configuration Utility. Connect to a Windows PC and create customized lighting periods with fully adjustable spectrum and intensity. Opt in grouping and weather features are also enabled.

Check back frequently for new software and firmware releases that will add new controllabilty and functionality to your Radion fixture.

Units out there - we have now personally distributed a total of 56 units into Canada so I am sure within the next month there will be plenty written about

Tagging along, if I keep cooking ballasts then I'll be looking to upgrade to some other form of lighting.

Well so far, I have both units hung from one of the ugliest contraptions I have ever made...but it works.

I had a hard time getting the software to recognize both lights, had to reset the lights to factory default a couple time to make both visible, Now they look like they are working via SW, but #2 seems to be on a different time sequence as they both work together to a point but every morning I get up #2 is on long before #1…The SW is still buggy, I’ve programmed a couple project but the SW is having issues saving or loading to programs. Tonight I think I’m going to reload the SW and see if that gets me better results.

The Lightening storm effect is kewl

I think it still has a nice look tho hopefully they can improve on these before I buy them I will set up an average 55 tank would one fixture be enough with 2 screw in par38 bulbs on either side ??

Do you have picture of your tank with the radions? Is your 120g a 4x2? And what kind of corals do you keep?

I will post pics in the next day or so. Yes it is a 4x2x2 120g and 2 Radions are perfect for it.

Oh man I can't wait to get mine running.

A little confused though as I downloaded the manual the other night ( bored at work ) and the manual shows you how to do the Natural mode?

Is the natural mode not active yet in the software? Sorry guys mine is still in the box so I haven't downloaded any software yet.

The latest SW revision includes the "Natural" mode.
