I noticed a difference visually between all four of my Radions when on the same template and intensity grouped or ungrouped. I am disappointed in the inconsistency of these lights, given the price. I assume driver board or LED inconsistency leads to this, but you should not see the difference so clearly. I am attaching some Parwise screen captures to illustrate. I don't know how you get consistent lighting on a tank with this level of mismatch. All of the Lights have been calibrated and all channels work properly.

3 months old they have been like this since Day 1. I just got around to quantifying the issue today. Reeks of poor QA in production.

From the picture of the lights I really can’t tell, but are you using a diffuser?

Another question, are the corals not responding well? Or is this visual discrepancy that is annoying?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
