Very nice!! One of my favorites!
 
You know I saw those in person, and I wasn't really impressed by them. Seemed to require an abnormal amount of them for full coverage and the color rendition was only marginally better than the black boxes. HOWEVER,

I have seen the tanks on youtube etc that are running them so it might have just been the person's tank I was viewing or their choice of color setting. I look forward to seeing what you will do with yours.

I have seen them in person. Mike @greybolt03 here has them on his tank and they look great. His tank is 72 X 24 X 30 (h) and he only has 2 on it. The coverage is good.
I did a lot of research on these before pulling the plug on them like 30 minutes ago :wink:

That’s awesome! I’m really looking forward to seeing more and more top tier manufacturers put out competitive lighting.

I spent about a year with my radions giving them the ole college try. I like them a lot and there’s no doubt that they grow Corals. Enough so that my new build will be using the radions I have plus one or two more.

I have determined though that I will be running T5 along side them to make sure I don’t have shadows and even coverage on my new tank.

My problem with radions is the "pucks". I was never a fan of pucks. I like the bulbs spread out like in the fathom led I had before.

Thanks folks. I cannot wait to put some corals in the tank. Ironically it was Aug 2017 when my tank leaked. It has been a year and it feels like it was yesterday :(
