I have 2 Gen 2s over my 55 gallon. I would have preferred the Pros but the cost was prohibitive. To be honest, if I didn't know about the Pros I would be completely happy with the G2s - they are highly controllable and I am seeing good colour and growth. I think the G2s are on sale at a couple of retailers at the moment.

 

Gotcha. Thanks for the feedback. I did some more reading and saw that I can upgrade to the Pro later on if I really want to.

Right - it's possible, but expensive! Good idea to thoroughly check out all the options on a large purchase like this. Whatever you decide, there are no bad options!

Hey guys, just got my Radion Pro up and running last night. However, I am having an issue setting the correct local time. I am stationed I Japan but the time on Ecosmartlive keeps reverting back to California time. For the time being I had to set the lights to come on at 5pm and off at 5am. I emailed Ecotech already but still waiting for a response. Anybody have any experience with or a solution for this?

Hey guys Just received my first Radion light, I went with the Radion Pro. and I must say WOW these lights look great I personally love the colors and how flexible the colors can be. I have been tweaking the high coral growth settings for now. but I am curious to what settings some of you guys use over your tank. I like the 16-20k look.

 

if any of you have a programmed setting you like would you guys mind sending it to me so i could check it out?

I just upgraded my Radion G1 to a Radion G3 Pro.

 

I also use the wide angle lens for better coverage over a 40g breeder.

 

If anyone wants to know about upgrading, I described the process and what differences I see between the G1 and G3 Pro in my thread. (See sig)

Has anyone upgraded from a G2 to G3? As I am now (probably) going be using just one light over my downsized tank, $150 to upgrade the LEDs is doable. I'd like to have the additional colors but it's all a bit confusing. Is the real benefit of the G3 Pro over the G3 just PAR or is there more to it?

I guess i can be added. My gen 2 will be here tomorrow with the 120degree optics I ordered as well. Will be going over my 40 breeder

I will say also it seems taking photos under the Radion is much easier then any other LED system i have have had. I dont know if its the way they are reflecting the lights into the tank causing the light in the tank to be more of a 1 full spectrum vs some other lights that dont blend as well. I am not getting over blown color saturation though like I use to do with other LED fixtures. Not gonna complain though as that was one thing that was a PITA with LED was getting good proper images.

Hi guys... I just hooked up my Radion XR15W on EcoTech's RMS tank Mount on my JBJ 12g Nano... looking forwrd to seeing if I can learn any good lighting cycles, just running fish, rock and CUC for now, hoping to add corals in a couple of months.

It happened to me when I first purchased it. It was incredibly annoying. I did everything for the 1st day and it wouldn't fix itself. I set the times to work with the weird time it thought it was. The next morning I wake up and the lights were off so I start swearing at it and when I log onto Ecosmart live and plug it in the time just randomly fixed itself. Not sure why but it seems to take a day or so for these issues to clear up based on what I've read. I would also try contacting Ecotech directly.

 

P.S. I'm new to the Ecotech club :) Build link is in my signature.
