Dumped my t5 hybrid (hated the form factor and bulb change) and went from a Radion G3 pro along with a G4 Pro to just 2 Radion XR30 Blues, a tad bluer than white with the new cyan LEDS but so far i Really like them, nice coverage and colors

Nice! Yeah mine went male really quick as well. Thinks he's the tank boss with all the wrasse which is funny.


Funny, mine is shy. My lineatus wrasse is tank boss (behind purple demon tang of course) followed by the pintail. Despite his small size he is flashing as much as a flasher wrasse and chasing the leopards (nothing to be concerned about)

Ha! Mine doesn't chase but mainly just does put up with anyone's crap. My Shutmani flashes all the time and will chase the flashers toward lights out. Then the Nahacky will chase him and Lineatus will flash at all of them. Funny to watch.

Have new guy in the box I am a little concerned about but we shall see..

Took some time to clean up the wiring and clean up the sump. I have been removing some equipment trying to simplify the tank and maintenance. First to go was the t5 hybrid with radions to radions only. Its been only 2 weeks with the blues and i really like them. No buyer remorse, coral looks just as good- the real test will be 6 months from now. Also removed a tunze powerhead from my chaeto, it was a pain to clean and made the sump louder due to fluctuating water levels impacting the flow over the dividers. I also have 450 gal/hr via a vectra L1, the chaeto will be fine.

Next step is working on the energy bars and cleaning up those cords, i feel this tay home effort will allow me to tidy up a few things i have been meaning to get at.
