No need reef link ,just connect ur light to ur pc and go to light setting

I did the calibration. Very easy. All you do is answer the question is the light on. If i remember correctly, once you say no it moves to the next color. It's easier the second time as you know what to expect.

I'm guessing that it's on the lowest setting at that point and it's just verifying that it is on. @Volpone

I have been calibrating my radions since the day 1 acquired them but there will always be color difference. I have 4 gen 3 pro radions and 2 of the 4 are upgraded to to gen 3 pros from gen 2. the difference I noticed is from the blue leds. all blue leds from the factory gen3 pros are much brighter than the ones from the upgraded units no matter how many times I do the calibrations, result will always be the same. Also all of my radions have different intensity in regards to the UV led. one led in a single unit of 4 leds will always be dim and it is same on all 4 radions no matter how much I calibrate them but once running on normal mode they all lit up at same intensity. Seems odd but still works the same.

Just did my first calibration after a year (I never even know of the "calibrate" option), and it worked GREAT! Extremely easy with no problems. Not sure how they could make it any easier! I did find that my middle one (and newest one) was WAY different than my original 2. I love everything about Ecotech!

I have two G3-Pro's in my floating canopy plus 4 T5's for supplement and manage the shadows areas. Was reading at this thread and saw the calibration process (honestly no idea about it) always notice that one of them was turning off first and a couple more minimum differences so jump on my ESL follow the process and done. Did it in my ipad and honestly the easiest and user friendly process, like everything with Ecotech. Best money invested ever, ohhh i just got my new Vectra L1 and guess what LOVE It!!!!!!

How long before calibrating? I've just gotten mine in October

you can (and probably should) do it now. That's about how old mine are. Helped a lot!

I'm following along. I have 3 g3 pros. When taking pictures I've noticed my white balance never seems accurate under my left fixture even though all schedules are identical and controlled by apex. Possibly just the angle, but who knows this is worth a shot.

I'm not computer savy, so I'll be patiently waiting for a step by step for apex users, lol!

Great thread and good to know!

Awesome, thanks!

Thanks to this thread, just calibrated my new G4 I have been having awful colors from the fixture. The corals weren't totally hating it, but the violet was nasty and overpowering, the warm white looked orange and not like any WW I saw in another tank...

I was guessing it had to do with my room, maybe the passive light coming in?

Nah -- It just needed to be calibrated really, really badly...

I was always under the impression calibration is specifically and only for making sure multiple radions are on point with one another. Having a single radion, I didn't anticipate this making a difference.

I was very extremely wrong -- Calibrate your radions. Even if you only have an XR15. The difference is night and day... Literally amazing.

I don't get why they are not calibrated out of the box. Am i missing something?

Just bought 2 gen4 and love them. IMO for the money i feel they should be exactly the same...

Also thanks for the info!

 

[lillypads reef]

Just bought 2 gen4 and love them. Can't wait to try this after work.

Also thanks for the info!

I’m trying to calibrate mine and not sure if I’m doing it right. When I say the current channel is on it acts as if I said no and adjusts it. If I say no it moves on to the next light.

I can't seem to calibrate, gets stuck on violet. G3 pro 30.
