2 Months of growth under my Gen 1 Radions

[GnarleyMarley]

I have been running 2 Gen 1 radions on my tank since 12-28-12 and have been recording growth rates as well as how well color has been retained after switching from my 8 bulb t5. So far i could not b happier, all the colors look amazing ang things have been growing extremely well. I will keep taking pics and periodiclly add new pics to the progression so we can all see how well LEDs are working for me!

The Lights

keep in mind this is just a sample. I have been taking pics of every coral in my tank once a week every week, i have also been cataloging the growth, I just dont have time to upload 100 pics this morning but this is a good baseline of what has been going on in my tank since the lighting upgrade.
