Nice review of the color difference in Ecotech Gen 5 Radion Pro & Blue

[neverwouldof]

From a review on ChartHouse TV on youtube

Whats your thoughts on the deep blue color that seem to be the most popular that is selling?

The BRS review mentioned with the Pro.... you can go either way in color in the photo you posted. Great photo, thanks for sharing.

What do ppl recommend I don’t really know what to get . I was going to go with the pro if it can do both and I would like a little more whites I think

Pro. Can you adjust down the white a little? The Blue is too much blue.

 

[neverwouldof]

Sounds like if you like the growth and coloration of the Coral Labs AB+ then the Blue is the way to go and you set everything at 100% and just adjust the Intensity slider to correct the PAR Rating that works for your tank. So it sounds like the easiest route to me...

I have g4 pro. I’m sure it is fully adjustable on all channels

 

[piranhaman00]

The blue is too blue imo

 

[neverwouldof]

Both the lights are probably so powerful that you can adjust the blue up on the Pro and down on the Blue and still get very high Par.

Much prefer the pro to the blue, corals still pop with a much more natural lighting colour

Maybe that’s just a bad picture, but both look bad to me.

I'd imagine in person they'd look awesome, but if they've not got a good filter on then cameras will always make it look bad! Just my guess anyway!

I tried to adjust brightness and colors a bit to be more accurate to what i think it should be. This looks more inline I think...

Yep. I'd choose Blue all day long, but that's just because I run AB+

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

As already mentioned, the benefit for BLUE is if you prefer the AB+ spectrum. BLUE has been designed to optimize AB+, meaning it will out perform PRO in that spectrum (30% I think don't quote me might be more).

The benefit of PRO is when you prefer less blue and like whiter colors closer to the 14k spectrum, if that's the case PRO is the way to go.

Id go with the blue , I prefer bluer light for viewing purpose. I plan on getting the blue to run ab+ on a sps reef im setting in a few months with a aquatic life t5 hybrid fixture.

I am considering a gen five 15, it will be pro not blue, I like a more normal look.

One has LED's that the other doesn't, correct? That is at least my understanding between the Pro and Blue. So not done via software only. There is a hardware difference. I'm not interested in the light but if I was then I'd go Pro all the way.

 

[smartwater101]

The price for both are the same right? $839? Not sure why someone would go with the g5-blue when you can get the same look with a g5-pro, plus more options.

Good point, yes the BLUE has far more blue LED's, while the PRO has more whites.

In respect to LED colors and placement, you can see it here

They both have 100 leds. Blue had more blues and pro has more whites. Coral mainly uses blue, so I don’t see why you wouldn’t get the blue, it still has all the other colors too, just predominantly blue which is what corals benefit the most from.
