New Radion?

MrHarvard · 04/21/2013, 10:13 AM

So I finally made the plunge and got a radion. Its a gen 1 with tir lense. Im switching from T5s so I need some info on programs and accliminting the corals. Can anyone tell me what levels they started at and what programs they are running. My tank is 90% Sps and I have them at all levels in the tank. Thanks for any help.

There is so many thoughts on what programs to run , neat thing if you go through live manager u can set a acclimation period up slowly ramping up your program over days or weeks I would upload my charts but there on my laptop and its down ,

I also probably wouldn't go over 60% intensity. If yours are anything like mine (Pac Sun triton 175 W) - I can only run @ 50%

I have had my radion up and running for a month now and have installed the TIIR lenses. I am loving this light! Im still playing with the programming and looking for new programs to try if anyone has one they are using.

I used to be particular and always switching up the schedule and graph.

Best thing that could have ever happened to Radion is the Ecotech Live. (Free service)

I clicked on "Radiant" 10 hour schedule and maximum intensity 70%. With a two hour variant lunar moon cycle.

However my tank is deeper than yours so I would not exceed 60%.

Click Acclimate over 6 weeks for best results.

Set it and forget it!

If you are running Vortech, click the sleep mode mode and your power heads will remain at 50% power of the original strength when Radion is off.

Good buy!
