Hydra 26HD VS Radion Gen 4

[Mattrg02]

Any real benefits to that zig zag that everyone has been adding?

Thoughts on the two lights? Anyone compare or have used both? Color of corals between the two??

I use them both and they are both great lights. Not a lot of difference. I do like the diffusers that the Radions have but that's about the only difference between price and slight radiance differences that appeal to different people.

I used to run the whites higher, then the diatom would take over. With the high whites I also burned up some coral tips. I did bump up the greens and reds to see what will happen. If someone say "hey that is so n so's lighting schedule", it is not. This schedule is patterned after WWC with some tweaking;)

No corals yet in mine yet, once I start adding corals would I need to run an acclimation with this program? The tank is L 57.5 x W 29 x H 29 half moon. Where should they be placed for acclimation? Bottom or up a little higher?

I found this website and thought that it made sense: https://ecotechmarine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ReefWholesale_CoralLab.pdf

I use the LPS/soft coral program, or something very similar to it (except that for now my UV is at zero ramping to 100% over 4 months as I bought some Ricordea and don't want them to bleach).
