Hi Adam,
I am loving all the corals I received. All growing, coloring and doing well. Question on the radions. I to reviewed your schedule and I am a bit confused and hpe you can explain. You have the % set to 100 and then individual color channels turned down. Example. One of your set points at 11;35 am you have the brightness set to 100% but the channels are at RB30 - B15 - W5 - G10 - and R15. Do you know the difference and how the output is effected by lowering the brightness and increasing the color channels? Example would be using your 11:35 set point and putting your brightness to 40% and your RB to 100% - B to 100% - W to 60% G to 30% and R to 30%. This is how I have been running mine. I am running the Radion Gen 2. Thinking of upgrading the pucks to gen three to get the UVs.
Maybe others can also chime in.
Thanks all.
Hi Pat! Glad to hear the corals are doing well. I think I understand you questions and Ill do my best to explain. The over all intensity is 100% all the time. This maintains that the individual leds will run at full power when the channel is all the way up. The variations in individual intensity are for ramp up and down times and over aesthetic look.
I believe that if you run the Overall intensity at lets say 50% then the highest your individulal channel can get is only going to be 50% By running at 100 % I am using all of the available light the radion provides primarily during the peak hours in the middle..
Ill be honest, i never even experimented with anything less than 100% I am no pro but I could not see the logic in running them any less that 100%. especially since they were only getting about 4 hours of actual full intensity. the rest of the 12 hours is long slow ramp up and down.
That make some sort of sense?
It does. Ok, if I dont wont to bleach anything can I running the intensity at 100% and cut the channels in half based on your light scheme? In theory that would lower the output by 50%, right? Also, if you look at your out put graph in your .etg file, your graph is a straight line. do you know why that is? is your .etg based off the program from your gen2 pros or gen 2s without the UV channel?
Bringing this thread back to life, doing another led pack anytime soon? And how do you colors underneath your acros! I can't for the life of me get it to color up lol
