albertthiel Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Yup, the tank is crystal clear. Best quality tank I have seen, besides an Elos. Yes I checked it up on the Net and that is indeed what I found. No color shading of the glass and no distortion and great quality but ... $$$ more than regular glass ... but those who have it seem to all say that it is definitely worth it Albert Link to comment
cbort Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Wow, just your thread for the first time. What a beautiful tank and first class set up! Thanks Spirofucci! Link to comment

Used to have a 48x48x28T cube. I think he was saying the 6x6x30" reminded him of my old tank. this tank needs a update! i hear he got the radions in ! Update coming soon! Link to comment

cbort Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Contemplated purchasing the Ecotech Radion Hanging Kit, but figured for 45.00 i could probably make one on my own. So here is what I've got so far: Didn't really like the look of the bare wire, and my electric connections looked a bit on the redneck side, so i spruced it up a little with some rubber casings that shrink when you put your wife's hair dryer over them on high! Don't mind the wires, still trying to get everything level before finishing touches. And finally my favorite part so far about the Radion is the open top of the tank, better view from top down, and more working room for me! Link to comment
cbort Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Was playing around late last night, so here is the infamous Storm Mode: http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww226/4...be/affd8006.mp4 Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 The tank looks great with the Radion! How do you like it so far? What do you have it set at? Link to comment
cbort Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ecotech radions? I want those....lol Yup just 1 for now. Another to come soon. The tank looks great with the Radion! How do you like it so far? What do you have it set at? Thanks Spirofucci! Love the Radion thus far! It's a great fixture! Really looking forward to Apple compatibility! I have an iMac, iPad, iPhone, so Apple compatibility is gonna be great! Looking forward to putting another on, but 1 is doing great so far! Running artificial mode right now and loving it!

pschom Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Nice! I've been thinking about the Radion. If kessil ever ones out with a controllable led I'm buying it. Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah, I'm planning on getting the ecotech radion for my next tank. Link to comment
cbort Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Nice! I've been thinking about the Radion. If kessil ever ones out with a controllable led I'm buying it. I am really liking the Radion. Colors as you can tell are endless. I can't wait to be sittin on the couch changing the color of my lights with my iPad. Not to mention I've heard the new pucks will have both white and blue 5w LEDs. Yeah, I'm planning on getting the ecotech radion for my next tank. I'd recommend it! Wish I were closer to your tank! I want all your corals you have for sale! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Have you heard anything concrete about them having mac compatibility? Oh, I forgot to mention, nice job on the hangers! Link to comment
cbort Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Have you heard anything concrete about them having mac compatibility? Oh, I forgot to mention, nice job on the hangers! I dunno about "concrete", but if reef builders puts it on their page, generally it's pretty concrete: http://reefbuilders.com/2012/05/16/ecosmart-live/ It also has a link about the new Radion TIR Lens Clusters: http://reefbuilders.com/2012/05/16/tir-lens-radion-ecotech/ Link to comment
Rehype Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Looks great man..spread looks very even. Link to comment
cbort Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Looks great man..spread looks very even. Thanks Eugene! I have yet to get home at a decent time to get "full sunlight" pics. Most of the pics have been at night or in Demo mode, the spread is actually really great! When they said 24x24, I was a little worried, but my aqua scape helps that I think too. I really want to start on the dosing equipment, so I may put the second Radion on hold just a bit while I get a dosing setup and controller. Link to comment
