Started off with 3 xr30 but gave me too much shading at front and back of my peninsula tank.

I always knew I'd need more and thought about adding t5 but that wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing so I opted for another 3 x xr30

I love how you built your light system. Can you give us a bit more detail on it?

I've been running the Radions over my 125 mixed reef for about a year and half. The tank is 5 years old. Prior to that, I had two Razors. It never looked as good or grew as well as it ahs with the Radions

I tend to run a relative low-intestate (50% max) setting for a longer duration.
Pre-Dawn (blues only) ramping up at 6am,
Sunrise is around 6:30am,
Peak from 1130am until 4:45pm
Ramping down to sunset around 7pm,
Blues running and tapering off until 9pm.
