Hey Alan, just wondering what kind of Alk/dKH swing do you see throughout the day on your Aquawiz? I just started running an Aquawiz on my system and I'm watching how my Alk dips during the peak part of the day as my pH rises and then rises again at night as my pH dips and wondering what's ok. I'm seeing swings that go anywhere from a dKH of 7.9 to 8.1, so approx a 0.2 swing. I'm trying to adjust my dosing to add more alk during the day so that I can possibly flatten out that curve and maintain a more stable Alk level, but not sure I should really worry about it much.

It's interesting that in the past, I would just check my alk once a day around the same time each day and it would always be essentially the same. Now that I have an aquawiz checking my alk every hour, I'm seeing that alk actually fluctuates throughout the day alot more than I would have realized otherwise.

depends, my usual daily range is about 1 dkh. I haven't noticed too much of a difference when trying to minimize the daily swing, I just let the system operate and keep the alk above my baseline. I find myself spending too much time analyzing the data from the aquawiz lol

Definitely a lot of insights into your system!
 
It’s time for a major upgrade! I think this Zoox Phantom panel might put my radions to shame with its larger footprint, multichip led and reflectors. I’ll be replacing 3 g6 radions with 3 phantoms so we’re going to have a full blanket of light over the system now :)

I’m going to miss the radion’s fans going to warp drive 😂

Looks sleek, what's the footprint?

BTW, amazing corals! More photos please!

Would love to hear a follow up of how you like it after a few months.

Just saw these at cfm I was impressed with the little ones over frag tanks. Haven’t seen the big panels yet..

Those chips are ridicules! Very much want to see some pics and get some feedback once you have some time with them!

Approx 22 inch x 14 inch

Yea I’ve been excited to get them since RAP Orlando, glad to finally get my hands on them. I feel like this is the light that addresses all of my personal qualms with leds.

The reflectors and how the leds blend should be a game changer
 
Did you document a few corals so you can compare growth with the new lights to the old? Just curious
Not really, but all the pictures before were under radions. So far the system is doing well and I am seeing the alk consumption increasing.
