Absolutely, so many people were worried about the par reduction due to the diffuser but that can easily overcome with lowering the fixture. Lowering a couple inches could even yield a net gain.
That would be an awesome choice. If you had halides you will definitely love the Radions with the diffuser! And that id from a life-long halide guy. I know others say their are other LEDs that are just as good or better but to me, there is absolutely no equal! I have seen no proof that any other LED, halide, or T5 is capable of producing the same results. I personally feel that choosing any other light would have been an artificial handicap in producing wicked colored corals.
Y Man, I loaded three of them on Radions at my office this morning and was pretty impressed. I run V/UV/B/RB and touch of whites. At first it looked a lot like a ATI Blue+ tank - kicked the whites up a touch and it started looking a lot like a Radium tank. Also took a little time to look for hot spots as I can ALWAYS find them - not so much today!I finished the plumbing and added the Radion diffuser. I’m hoping to have water in the nano this weekend. I was really shocked at how much more spread you get with the diffuser. I would have never noticed had it not been comparing these two photos.
MY kind of cycleLittle update: The nano is filled! Added Dr Tim’s one and only so the cycle can begin. Bringing temp up to 83 so the bacteria can increase its metabolism.
- You know that really is a nice looking little tank. Where did you score that? I cant seem to find them online anywhere.
Dang but that's a sexy little setup!Well guys sorry for the delay but I am experiencing technical difficulties. They have crated up my sump and it is being loaded in the container, I expect the sump in approximately 3 weeks. In the meantime, I am getting really anxious, so I decided to set up a 25g nano.
25g Vitrea tank, Radion XR30 pro.
Sump, Sicce 1.5 return pump, Tunze nano osmolator
I love the stand with the glass doors and frosted glass accents.

back in 2010, Vitrea came out from Italy to exhibit at MACNA and Reefapalooza. After Reefapalooza, I secured a deal for the club to buy 2 of the tanks for the Christmas party raffle grand prizes. Although I didn’t win, I purchased the tank from the winner. The company went belly up about 2-3 years later. I guess they didn’t find a large market for $4000 nano tanks. Lol. The company was pretty innovative as the tank came with a 60w RGB led system. Actually one of the first companies to come out with that. Funny thing is they never even advertised it and I stumbled upon that feature on accident. Shame they didn’t make it.MY kind of cycle
i might have to agree. I was on WWC’s website last night and thinking the exact same thing! Already thinking of adding montis and chalices too!And something's finally WET !!! You sure you are staying with LPS or softies in this tank ? Because the light spread tells me very soon there might be sticks around

Indeed. I just scored a couple of 25s to flank my RS 525 build. They are OK but after seeing your tank ... well.
you are in Orlando if I’m not mistaken. Are you going to RAP?
