Well you are making an assumption that I took a before picture thinking that I would need it now to show the difference. My after is the Par Picture and I have darkened a little more since getting the pro. I don't know if the UV has something do with it. Everyone wants to crank them up. With great power comes great responsibility. Turn them down and you will be happy. But not too low that you brown out.

Does anyone know what spectrum both A) Natural Mode (Shallow) and B) Natural Mode (Blue) closest resemble? I have been running A) for a long time and just changed to B) today to add some blue, and the color difference is awesome... I'm just thinking of the PAR I might be losing..
Anyone?

How significant is the fluorescence improvement under the pro? I don't need the extra power, but I am wondering if the pro is worth the extra cost for the color improvements?

The pro is cool with the yellow and the uv. If you have the money go Pro, if not the gen 2 will work and you can always send them back for an upgrade in the future. I have a gen 2 over the left side and a pro over the right. The colors of the corals do seem to be similar but my monti over the pro side seems to have colored up and darkened over the last month.

Eastamherstbias - What is your intensity set at on your Radion Pro?
I have the same size tank with two Pros. |

Thank you, It has come a long way. I am going to "try" to let the Sps grow in now to see how it does.

Thanks for sharing your amazing tank. What spectrum or led combination did you take these pictures under? Also can you send me a copy of your graph so I can see what it looks like on my tank?
