Radion G3 and G3 Pro

abecker · Oct 3, 2015

This may be a weird question, but would a Radion G3 and a Radion G3 Pro appear different on the same tank? I know the pro has the yellow led and two additional blue LEDs so my assumption is yes, but I didn't know if anyone had first hand experience.

Yes they will, however only slightly but to a trained eye I believe you will see a different. It also depends on your aqua scape I believe.

Your post got me curious. I happen to own one of each. I set them up side by side and I could not see a difference. Maybe someone else would, but to me they looked the same. On second thought, there was a slight difference in the way they looked on the moonlight setting. The pro looked more blue where the non-pro looked a little more purple.

I can notice a difference when they are side by side.......if they are viewed separately (in different rooms for example), they look the same.

I'm about to find out first hand tonight. This post explains why I was posing the question. http://reef2reef.com/threads/this-one-time-at-the-lfs.216397/

Worst case, I am sure you can adjust the LEDs on the Pro to visually match the non-pro.....turning things off or down for example.

I take this back. After much tinkering, I have to say I do see a difference. The pro looks slightly more purple/pink to me under certain settings. The pro is definitely more powerful when it comes to par.
