Radion guys please comment

[WVReefJunkie]

I have a 220 gallon reef tank with mixed corals, with Radion Gen2s (three total). I was told to run lights with all blues and no whites, greens, reds from a fellow reefer. The question I have without whites, would that not decrease the growth of my hard corals? Also if I added T5 lighting with my LEDs what would be expected of the corals? Thanks

Ecotech Marine has this good article

Inside that article there are a few links so you can download a few profiles that have been tested extensively

That fellow reefer doesn't know what he's talking about.

All blue is good for show, not for grow. you need all the colors.

I''d definitely have white and a bit of green and red throughout the day and only blues for few hours if you're into the color pop thing.... RAdions have very good presets that you can use at least as starting point and modify to your liking

I have a 75 Gallon tank that is 48” long. I have the Aquaticlife t5 Hybrid with two Radions. I use the preset programs.

Don’t take any more advice from whoever told you that. :)

I have 2 gen 3 pro and the aquatic life t5 hybrid on my 120. For the gen3 I run ab+. I run only blue at ramp up and ramp down for looks, your coral will benefit from the full spectrum.

I run 4 Radion 30 gen 3’s and also run the AB+ preset profile from Coral Lab
