The tank is coming along and looks great! I’m blown away by the size of the gigs also. How are the sps?
The SPS are doing it. I can't complain. They just need some marinating time.

How many radions do you have over your tank?Nothing really to report. Tank is progressing well. I haven’t changed anything in the setup. Just enjoying the growth of the sps frags and the growth of the macros and feeding the fish. I’ll take some pictures this weekend.
Not to sound cocky or anything but I’m feeling good about the tank. My biggest concern was using solely the Radions G5 for lighting. But I can say they are working and I’m using a total of 300W and getting adequate growth and colors out of the corals. My MH/T5 combo on the old talk was 320W on the T5s alone.
That’s what I figured! The amount! Maybe I should’ve done more investigation before ordering orphek lolI have 5 mounted in vertical about 14” off the water at 45% in AB+ mode.
I set it and forget it.
Yeah. I was tossing up between radions (10 xr15 pros) , 5 orphek, or 4 250 halides with LED bars.I’ve seen plenty of spectacular tanks with Orphek. These spectacular tanks don’t happen overnight. Stay with it.
My concern was if the Radions didn’t work out, I would have to fall back on what I trust which is MH/T5 and the amount of power they need. So far, I think the Radions are doing the job.
Quick video of giganteas this morning.
Picked up the bad boy green gigantea today. These guys have been with me since 2015 but were in my friends tank last year when I broke down the old tank. The green was wreaking havoc in his tank.
This is about an hour into the tank. The size should double that when it’s all settled.
Do you have a sand bed maintenance schedule? If so what do you do?
