Yeah not in a huge rush, I'm not going to overpay for sure, I just don't have the cash for it ya know?

Begow Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 $275 shipped in mint condition Can you go down on that price at all? Really looking for a Radion but seems high priced for a Gen 1. Link to comment
Hecdr34 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Selling for a friend and that's what he's asking. Sorry Link to comment
Jorgieee Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah thats over priced IMO be patient ! Selling for a friend and that's what he's asking. Sorry Link to comment

braaap Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 hey braap why don't you let go one of those Radions that you have listed on R2R :D Changed my mind otherwise I would. Although I got a lot of offers at full asking price there. Those people throw their money around it seems. Link to comment

Those people throw their money around it seems. They're a lot richer that's for sure. I was considering a AI Prime, with the mount it's like $210 Link to comment
Begow Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Light found, thanks! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Light found, thanks! Dang nice! Radion Gen 1? Link to comment
Begow Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Dang nice! Radion Gen 1? Nah man, I got the AI Prime, fits my budget better and on my shallow tank I think it'll be a good fit. I'll keep the Mini-TIde on the other side until I can afford a second AI Prime. Light and mount for 209 shipped, can't beat it. Link to comment

The PAR output on them is garbage. 250 PAR 8 inches from the light through the air. BLEH. I had one and returned it. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ya you can. The PAR output on them is garbage. 250 PAR 8 inches from the light through the air. BLEH. I had one and returned it. +1 Buy another Tide without a controller and hook them together. Boom. Link to comment

I had one and returned it. +1 Buy another Tide without a controller and hook them together. Boom. As always boys, price point is key lol. I'm trying to save $100 a week for my damn teeth. I don't keep a lot of SPS, and the ones I do I prefer medium/lower light because I like my ORA Red Planet to be green, and my Reeftech Monti doesn't do well under high light. I gotta keep the budget down as much as I can because everything in this hobby has crappy resale minus Ecotech products it seems like. I made a legit pro-con list, and I definitely know the cons on this light, but it'll work for me. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Spending $210 for a new light, and another $210 for another eventually doesn't make sense versus buying something in the $200-225 range and not buying something else. Link to comment
Chris! Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 You scared of chinese black boxes? I have 10.... depending what shipping would be I could send you one for very little, or you could buy a brand new one for like $80 on ebay. I also have a gen 1 radion.... maybe a yr use if that.
