Was just wondering how people like this light? Please share some results of the light itself and the tank. I am thinking of switching. I had the radion 2 over a shallow tank and the corals hated it. Now I have a 24 inch deep tank and wanna try again and this being a pro so it has 7 different colors. Please help me decide. Thanks again.

I am looking at them right now. That and the AI Hydra's. Hoping for a little feed back. I need to replace a light on a 30in. long tank. But how well will XR15 120 optics cover?

Getting ready to call Radion to ask a few questions. I've read they come with the 120 and 80 degree. Just looking for a little feedback from any current owners. Watched a vid on youtube where the XR15 fan seemed to be a little loud.

I Have gen 1 and gen 2 pros, they are great. Fully back them. My wife just picked up a xr15 for a new 40 nuvo build and I have I expectations. They are the best thing next to halides. (I love halides but not the cost, maintenance, and heat, plus it doesnt cost me $200 to see if I like the 14k look on my reef or the 20k look LOL)

I had a g2 but the corals were not that happy with it. But I was also running it on a shallow reef and think it was to much for the corals. Now I have a 24 deep tank I think it will be different. The settings are amazing. .

I run a XR15W Pro over my 15gal nano reef. Love the light, had it running probably close to a month now. Hanging 8" above the surface, 15" deep tank. I have it close to 65% at the peak of the day/cycle.
