uglyfish Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 If I remember, the light comes with screw in eyelets which you have to take off to use their mounting kit. But I may be wrong about that. I'm at work and can't check right now. The hanging kit it quite good - There's a sliding lock that allows you to raise and lower - (which I use frequently for cleaning and such). I don't know if it's worth $45. But it is pretty good. Spirofucci - I really think you nailed it with the supplemental t5 on the radions... I may join the "Radion - supplemented with t5 Clubhouse" Link to comment
jT415Gz Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 ok ecotech says that they use M5 0.8 pitch screws w/eyelets. a source of mine is offering me a great deal on a radion w/hanging kit that I could not pass up, so will not need to attempt a DIY hanging kit. should be here next week. hard to believe I am not building another DIY LED fixture; but since time is not what I really have right now; the Radion's *should* be good enough for my needs.

jT415Gz Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I have mine set to artificial, run through from 10k in the morning through to 20k at night. Each colour temp between is used. So far intensity is maxed at 65%. Here is my current program Care to share your .etg file? I am a new Radion owner and still learning the software. Link to comment
Tlalok Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 So i went back to my old settings, things dont look good. back to 50% intensity, will watch how things go over the next 2 weeks. So far my sps are looking a little better than yesterday when light was at 75% intensity and at 12k. old settings showed growth so im hoping the 8" above the water surface is not a big factor.

bucfan Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Do you have Ecosmart Participation on or off? I have it set to on and I think it's putting my MP40s into night mode at 8 pm. Link to comment
jT415Gz Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yeah, finally regsitered. It was asking for a 6 character password when in fact it needed 8. I think that's what Ecosmart Participation is supposed to do. Sync the Radion program with your MP's. Link to comment
Tbone675 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 i have been running this edit: wont let me upload my .etg file Link to comment
Tlalok Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 So does it sync the MPs to the light automatically? im gonna start using the live version soon. also how high or low do u guys run the Mps? what mode? how much intensity? thanks since i switch over to the old ways my corals look better and have been growing still kinda slow but at least they look alive. Currently highest is 35% with the TIR lenses. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 does anyone here want to convert me over from AI.... ? give me some reasoning Link to comment

Trooper46 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Any reason why you converted? Was it just so everything was on the same platform i.e. your lights working with / communicating to your pumps? Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Any reason why you converted? Was it just so everything was on the same platform i.e. your lights working with / communicating to your pumps? I always felt curious. My main reason was boredom but now that I switched, I'm amazed at the difference in color, the user setup and programming is dynamite, and I will b upgrading to wireless mp10s... Link to comment
GaryR1984 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 And that was from AI right? Link to comment
GaryR1984 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I want to mount my Radion over my Mr Aqua 11.4g Tank, but I use it on my desk, so I'm looking for a way to put it on this. Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 converted.... Untitled by J.L Photography, on Flickr Beautiful picture! Can't wait to get my Radion setup over my 60g cube. Link to comment
E.intheC Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Nice tank Tron. I just installed my Radion today. I freakin love it Link to comment
Seiryoku Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Was originally planning to hang my Radion from the ceiling, but they are 10'. Think I'd be better off using a couple of brackets on the wall to hang it from instead? Link to comment
E.intheC Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 My ceilings aren't ten feet, but at least nine. I have brackets right now but don't like them. I'm going to hang them from the ceiling soon... Do you have the Ecotech hanging kit? Link to comment

E.intheC Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 It comes with the hardware but you need screws that screw into the ceiling. There is a nice looking metal coupling (sorry I don't know the exact terms) that hides the screw and looks very clean. Link to comment
Hook'Em2006 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Add me please. Just hung 2 Gen 2's over my 75g. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 nice, looks like your getting great spread on those Link to comment
Hook'Em2006 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 nice, looks like your getting great spread on those They light the tank perfectly. I hung them about 9 1/2" above the water line. I cant get my Mac to communicate with them though. Luckily, I have a windows PC for work, and that allowed me to program them. I kept getting "An Error occurred accessing your programming file" from my mac, but EcoSmart Live worked flawlessly from my PC. Link to comment
