Radion lighting

[flowflezy]

What do you guys set up your radions at? Which has been the best choice for your corals? Just wanted some opinions 12k or 14k or 20k. Also schedule maybe some pictures b4 the eco radion was on tank and now since u had it.

When I setup my Radions, first I setup the acclimation program for a 4 week period, starting at 35% going to a maximum of 65%.
I also used the radiant color program.
Now I am using a modified high growth program at 65%, ramping up in the morning with points at 20k to 14k back to 20k and then ramp down in the evening.

Do u turn your blue leds all the way up. Or leave everything the same? Just trying a few different things..

 

[mfinn]

I use preset programs, with minor changes.

In my opinion, what's more important, is the kind of lights you were using. LED's will burn corals badly. If you were using T-5's or halides, proceed slowly. Any of the preset programs will work. I would start at 30 - 40% and watch your corals closely. If all is well, work your way up to 60 - 65% over the course of a month and then experiment with a customized program if would like. The acclimation program works well.

Thanks will do that had leds on b4 I changed fixtures again. Everything looks good . Will move it up to 40 percent end of week,

I started at 50%. Using on of the pre programs. Coral color enhancement program or something of that nature. Corals responded well with no signs of bleaching. Im going to change it to a 12k-14k program in a few weeks.

Here is mine. I'm using a combination of 10k, 14k and a little 20k. Radion Pros gen 2 - max is 75%, 32 inch deep tank, 10 inches off water. This combination is working well for me on my SPS. I'm getting good growth and color is really popping.

I'm in the Fusion Beta group. I don't think they have a date yet for release. You can do this with Ecosmartlive as well.

ive dropped my radion down to 35% using the radiant pre-made schedule, i made my own schedule for a while but i had the intensity up to high and burned out some new sps frags. my existing colonies seemed to love it, but not the new frags. I even had the acclimation timer going...going back to basics for a while. plus i just ordered the retro-fit upgrade kit to bring my Gen 2's to Gen 3 Pro, with a 120Degree optics!

I just tried the radiant secdule on acclimation fro 30 to 60 percent and started bleaching before I could hit like 50 percent so I back off to 40 percent
