Ecotech Radions

Hello there, I purchased the Ecotech Radion XR15 G4 back in January. The lights are great and easy to program using my Neptune Apex. I use this controller because I could not get the Ecotech application to work on my MacBookPro. of course, this cost more money for me but I'm glad I did.

if budget isnt an issue,
GO GHL MITRAS, high quality German product with good support

more par and spread then a radion.
More control , up-gradable, REAL UV.
do your research, dont just follow the crowd of the radion/apex lovers.

The use of UV light in LED

Wanted to gather everyones thoughts on this... some day high uv can damage coral and some say high uv is needed to help coral growth.. i see led lighting schedules and some run low uv and coilets where as others run high etc.. can anyone here tell me what they have noticed when running high uv...

Ok thanks! Do you know what the newest model is? Seems like there is a couple different options...

Lx7206
Lx7006
Lx6200- HV
And so on

lx7206 and lx7204

to give you an idea of what the difference is
the lx7206 (6 panels) would be like a xr30 ( 2 pucks)
and the lx7204 (4 panels) would be like a xr15 (1 puck)
