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!

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.
