Reef tank looks horrible with Radions. Is it me, or the best it gets, or????

You nailed it! Trust that gut instinct reefer. Just look at the members message history. Over 90 percent of his messages are about lighting. And most of his message history, is on this current thread

Yup, I am done here.

Oh wow I read 3 pages of this before I realized he was talking about G4’s not G5’s and he only paid 200$ for both g4. Stop your complaining you got the deal of a lifetime there and many many people will take them off your hands if your not happy. G5 +ati hybrid user here

I live in the middle of nowhere. Not sure anyone in the general area has the combo's I am looking for. I guess I will need to search around and see.

My "now" tank is a 55 gallon but I will be moving to a 180(?) 72x24x24 . Decided to try the cheap G4's before going in too deep.

Cheap G4’s? In my neighborhood cheap G4’s still go for 400$ each….

There is a diff between a whiner and someone confused getting an item that was touted as MH replacement and is not even close (in the 10k/15k spectrum at least), then, asking if anyone else feels the same while giving my opinion of them.

Did you catch the part where I paid nothing for them?

Looks like your comprehension failed you a few times.

I will pay you 300$ plus shipping for the pair when your ready to sell and get your dream lights . That’s 100$ over what you paid. Let me know.

What does that got to do with anything? I have been reefing for over 10 years. I know most of the deal, if not all of it. This is the first thing I changed, that I was looking for the expected results everyone claimed since I started on this board.

I got thePilzon leds for $60 a pop. That was a waste of money on a trial run. Go find my messages on here about me complaining about them. Hint, you will not find any. Why? Because they were not touted by ALL to be the god send.

Would really like for the trolls to move and so I can get back to the basics of why I started this post. Does this board have a block button for trolls in threads/posts?

If it did, you would not be able to post.

No, led is not the same as halide. No one ever said that. Is it better? Is it worse? That depends what you are looking for and what you expect.

You've been offered a great price for the leds you hate. Maybe you can take that profit and use it for gas money, so you can afford to drive the 800 miles from the middle of no where.

My USB inputs are flaky, I burned one of the diffuser lens's, one of the plastic vent fins missing a 3 vent chunk out of it and one of the LED bubble lens was melted by previous owner. I was thinking if I do sell, maybe $550-$650 area.

If they grow coral, thats fine. I need to find what works with them to make the tank "look" good (to me). Kessil, G5's, all of the above???

Hold up... stop the presses... all this brouhaha... all this sniveling... all this whining... and you're basing all of this off of your experience with a couple of busted up lights you bought second hand at a flea market?!

 

[bigfish1152]

If it did, you would not be able to post.

If anyone else has something useful to add, I will chat with them. Ignoring all the trolls and unhappy readers form here on out.

LOL wait so the lights were broken this whole time , I just can’t , apples to oranges

 

[bigfish1152]

Yes, but they work 100%, besides one optic bubble over ONE LED in one lens through Mobious.

Thought you had me, ehy, lol.

Sounds like more than one lens on one led. It's important to keep the troll straight. I mean, at least make it challenging for the folks in the back of the room. You're starting to remind me of the one guy from Tropic Thunder.

Take it to PM if you have an issue from here out.

I'm flattered, but no, thanks. We can keep this relationship in public. I have no interest in special pics or love letters from you.

Not with you.

 

[Rubberfrog]

Not with you.

I thought you were ignoring me? Go back to telling us about how unhappy you are with your broken flea market lights.

This whole thread is a very poor representation of R2R.
