Ready to fill this up. Picking up a Radion later this week. So ready to turn it on

I’m very happy with my Radion on my 45.

It seemed like the best option. And give it the cleanest looking. Any pics of yours?

Full tank shot using a polyp lab filter. I run them at 40%. I use an RMS mount but am debating a hanging kit.

Looks good! You inspired me to fill mine finally lol

So I got it filled up this weekend. Had to finish up the stand. Got power mounted on the inside. So no messy cables.

Able to store a 5 gallon bucket under for the ATO. Its much cleaner with this stand than the one I previously used.

Picking up the light by Friday.

Let me know your thoughts!!

Looks great! Really like how the branch rock is incorporating. Nice cave structure too. Smart move being able to fit a bucket under there. The stock JBJ stand I have isn’t big enough for one so I’m constantly refilling the ATO in the winter.

Thanks. I'm pretty excited how it's starting out. Fitting a buck underneath wasnt part of the design but its definately a plus for me.

I collected close to 200 lbs of rock to find what I wanted to use in here. So I have a bunch left over. But I plan on starting a 90 build near summer time.

Why not a hydra 32 or two primes? I have a 26 over my jbj45 using the ab spectrum and it’s working

By all means you're tank looks great. But why not a Radion? I mean if you can. I'm actually getting a great deal on a radion and rms mount

Why not a radion? Because it doesn’t have enough spread. After all, the ai lights are made by ecotech in the same factory with the same components. I could’ve afforded a radion. But it was unnecessary imo

With a single radion you will have terrible shadowing. I have bad shadowing on the sides of my tank with a 26 mounted 12 inches above the tank

Really love the scapes on both tanks! I too am part of the old JBJ club with the 30g rimless. :)

I'm in the process of a restart. I can show you its prime prior to this year but life took over and things went south, sadly.
