Radion G5 Blue + Kessil Hybrid

[Jon's Reef]

Love the Radion spread and the Blue spectrum... but I wanted to bring in some of the sharp Kessil lines. So this is what I came up with:

2 Radion G5 XR15 Blue with 30.5" RMS bar and hanging kit
Add a 2.5" hole saw

Now a A160W (XR15 rotated so long way is front back)...

And done...

Without Kessil

Looks Awesome!

I was just running orphek or3 bars and t5, but got minimal shimmer. I added red sea leds for shimmer and controlability and am much happier with the look.

I just came across you post while searching kessil radion hybrid. Looks great. I plan to do the something similar but with the a360x in the middle, so that I could get the 120° spread.
Thanks for sharing.

I also changed it to an A360x. For hanging on the RMS I made something like this. The white tabs are made of expanded PVC to slide into the groove under the RSM rail. The screws are long enough to accommodate the control knobs. The heads are countersunk into the pvc tabs. One nut holds the screw tight to the tab while a second nut holds the screw tight to the A360x. the screws were the correct size to thread into the small holes on top of the A360x.

A few pics. Also some pics of Reef brites added to it. You can get the K30 mounts from Premium Aquatics.

Hi. I also could not do without adding Kessils

First off, your setup looks awesome, and that's a great idea to mount the a360x. But why did you feel the need to add the Reefbrites? Is it because your tank is very wide? Aren't the Radions powerful enough? Only asking because when I inquired about the Reefbrite asd-on at BRS, I was told by one of the techs that the Reefbrite add-on was primarily for the G4 and before to help with fill light. The G5's dont need fill light.
