thirdchild Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks! There's always something nice about a fresh start. Not much to see besides this guy. Link to comment
NuEoK Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Just wondering why you were using the wide angle lens for the foot print of your tank. From what I heard wide angle lenses drop PAR by 50% so I was just curious. Link to comment
braaap Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just wondering why you were using the wide angle lens for the foot print of your tank. From what I heard wide angle lenses drop PAR by 50% so I was just curious. Because he had them on his 40b. Not quite 50% but the Radion still has more then enough PAR output with them. He would be running the radion at 30-40% on this tank with standard lenses or 50-60% with wide lenses. Link to comment

Thanks, im using the Radion xr30w Pro as well, debating if I should switch to the wide angle as well. So was wondering if he was running the wide for a different benefit, such as better spread or something. Link to comment

thirdchild Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hahaha, I didn't know I had visitors. Yes, it's the light from my last build and I needed the spread for the 40b. I also actually like how the wide angle lens blends the different led colors together. No banding. RIP purple dottyback, hello false percula. Link to comment
thirdchild Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Just a few pics. My monti at the top is growing pretty well. The millepora and fungias are looking nice and hairy. My jawbreakers are also pretty good. I think I'm ready for something new Link to comment
