Aquatic Life LED/T5

who uses this setup with radions, do you like it? Also what is the best cord management system since it’s a hanging fixture? Would love to see pics.

Thanks!

You could use something like spiral cord wrap on the side with the ballast and radion power cords.

Right, but still would have the conglomerate dangling down the side. Kinda kills the look of a hanging mount ha

I don't have one but I've noticed the same thing. The best solutions I've been able to come up with would be to either run a socket into the ceiling or to get the tank mounting kit (but I don't know if that's available yet).

I did this and zip tied it to the 8020 brackets that the fixture is hanging from.

Hey guys. I just switched to this setup. I was running 4x Gen 4 pro radions. Alone. Now I added 4x blue +.

How much should I adjust the intensity of the t5s down too?

I run the coral lab sps ab program. Default I believe are 100 % intensity at 80% power

I was looking at this fixture, but saw that the ballasts are not dimmable. How are you adjusting the intensity of the T5's?

I just set up one on my new tank and I used zip ties to bundle cords.. here is a picture of fixture with 3 LED power cords and the 2 t5 cords all bundled and routed behind tank..

Here is mine over my 75 Gallon:

Cords gathered on each end. The second pic is without the end caps installed.

Guys I was asking about the intensity and par. My radions are running at max. I need to turn them down to adjust for the t5s.

Here is mine, I am very happy with the T5/LED Combo.
