Default Radions

Anyone out their who just us is radion lights?
I'm just curious of your success and settings you use. I am running 2 g3 pro's at 40%. My lps seem to do great with them but I'm not sure if my sps like them.. I've been thinking of adding 2 reef brights or if I should add T5's. To help with shadowing and coverage. What do you guys think?

2 Radion 3G Pro on standard 120 gallon.
Running Coral Lab SPS AB+ schedule at 100% over 11 hours.
SPS and everything is happy. That schedule ends up being 65% at peak intensity.

I’m running 4 Radion G3 Pros across a 6 ft tank (lights are run width of tank instead of length) and I have no issues with coverage. I’m running the lights at 50% intensity also using the Coral Lab SPS AB+ except I tweaked the whites a bit so my tank isn’t heavily blue for viewing pleasure. Everything is happy and no bleaching at the settings. I have some acros toward the bottom and they are still branching out and happy.

Running a gen 3 pro xr15 on a 24" wide tank. I find my SPS get shadowed so I rotate them. Just bought the diffuser yesterday, I like the way it evens out the light and it looks like it may help a bit with some of the shadowing, but hard to tell in 1 day.

G3 Radion over an LPS 20 gallon.

I run it using the Coral Lab LPS template with lower whites, reds, and greens. Peaks at 35%.

It's way too much for what I need but I love it

Talking

I've had my radion diffuser for 7 weeks now and have not changed anything else in how I run the tank since.

All of my coral appears much more colorful. Perhaps I was running too high without the diffuser (I did not dial up the wattage after putting it on), but man I'm happy with my purchase.
