Naw big tanks are just too much work. These nano can easily be over night reefs

What generation of Radion is it?

I know for mine, I have to connect to EcoSmart and plug in a USB. There you can change down the intensity.

Let me know if you find a ReefLink. I'm looking for one too. lol

I have been using Radions since day 1 and still just use the original desktop Ecosmart Utility on my laptop with the USB connection. As often as I adjust it, certainly no justification for getting that ReeflLink. Also, have tried the various Artificial modes and files with different settings. But have come back to the simple Natural mode where you just set % and depth, and let it do the rest with ramping and spectrum mix. That has worked best for my coral color and growth. I do keep an Artificial setting that I can switch to with the press of the button. It highlights the color pop of the corals, and sometimes I turn it on just to impress visitors. But that setting is not the best for my SPS if I leave it on.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Amazing specimens sir,

Are those the Rock Flower Nems in the picture? Do you have any closeup shots by any chance? Any for sale? I've been looking for some for quite some time but stopped because was told there was none available during summer time because too hot. Please PM me your number, I purchased some ric's from you before have any to spare to a fellow reefer?

Thank you haha. I do have a couple I can let go of. However I'm attached to these guys. There's around 30 of them in there and they are very happy. But I'll definitely cull a few that are similar out if your interested send me a PM!
