New Ecotech 30w Pro LEDs

twiddle · 11/25/2012, 09:35 PM

I am wondering if anyone has used these yet and reviews? I looked for a thread but couldn't find one.

Search for "Radion." There are plenty of threads.

The pro is to be out early 2013 but the XR30 G2 is out. The G1 is still for sale and has gone down in price, I think the price point for the G1 is really good for an already excellent fixture. The pro is going to be close to $1000. I actually use 2 kessil 350w's were most people would put in an xr30 because I have no care at all for the digital control systems that come with most fixtures. If price was no option I'd toss it all out for xr30 pro when it came out though.

So how do you like your kessil's? Do you have SPS?

The Kessil is amazing, I have 2 for each 2 x 2 x 2ft section of my 6ft tank. No control though, but no disco lights effect either. It's a multichip with a single lens. I have a nice DIY 12 led setup as well on a refugium but the Kessil is way better. I replaced a center 400w MH and the 2 250w MH at each end and my tank is all sps and clams. No problems, no bleaching and amazing color!! Love it!
P.s not cheaper than a radion , 2 kessils is $800

You'd need 3 though for a 180, at least for mine as there are 2 braces (3 x 2 ft sections) and 2 x 27inch razors lengthwise would have a lot of shadow from the braces. I Really like the razors price point and features but don't think it's enough for a 24" deep sps tank
