Lighting blown on reef.

Emma01 · Feb 26, 2019

Hi all.
Little bit of an emergency/shock!
My light has just overheated and blown for my reef tank!
I had a ZETLIGHT ufo.
Basically, I’d like advice/suggestions on what the best one to have is.
The tank is a nano 30 litre, so I’m wary of strength of bulbs etc.
I was looking at the
Ecotech Radion XR15w G4 Pro LED
What’s the controllability like/does it need ‘extra’ equipment to be used with iPad/iPhone

Really hope someone can help answer this for me. Thanks
Emma

I have two Radions I use with my T5 hybrid light. I love them! If you want to control them on the internet you will need to buy the Reeflink.

I've had two for a little over a week now. I love them! I can see coral growth already in a few of my frags and being able to use your phone to set and control the intensity and settings is pretty amazing. I appreciate all the presets you can choose from as well.

If your budget supports radions- yes, great choice. I do however for the money recommend Ai sols, hydra 26 or prime HD. I have the Ai units and they provide great shimmer and grow everything!! Tank in pic is under the Ai prime

Here is two Ai primes. They grow anything

Awesome value

Yep - this sums it up

I've used AI Primes or AI Hydra 26 in my past on previous tanks and both lights performed exceptionally well.
I would recommend an AI Prime for your size tank because it'd be more than enough and they are well made and their app on the phone is super easy to use.
