Scored these sweet shrooms down in Orlando. Hard to capture the brightness of these guys in the photo.

Hey Andy, tanks looking good. What is your light schedule? How are you liking the radion?

 

[spspirate]

Hey man thanks! It's a love hate relationship I have with my Radion. I love the versatility but alone doesn't grow SPS (acropora)like a halide does, that's just my experience. All other corals it does great! I have mine set at a peak of 70% and runs 20k throughout the day with a long sunrise and sunset.

Reef is looking good I'll try to upload some pics here soon.

What if you flanked it with a T5 or two? I know my LEDs weren't cutting it for the acropora either and mine are ai's. It wasn't until I put t5s with them that the acro's grew.

This is my plan Jackie. If I can free up some time....Lol I think that would be the ticket! The issue is retro fitting them on to the Radion to look good and be functional.
