Switched from t5 to Radions

[Budman's Corals]

Question. ..what mode did you start / have it in.

My buddy a photographer brought his light sensor(we were curious ) and showed me it was brighter deeper than the t5s I had, even at 50%.

After 2 adjustments in % over a 6 week period I am now at 65%....the growth/coloration is amazing.

I turned it up to 100% just to see and I needed sunglasses. ...I would have fried my frags.

Radios are amazing, I am saving up the get 3 of the XR 30 pros this next yr.

What Radions do you have now? I just got 2 pros and I love the ontrol of these things, idk when i need to ramp up some more,Is it every week or every 2 weeks?

I have the XR15 pro, on my frag tank. I'm running it on the " coral growth" program, which as you know is one of the installed program. Now at 65% and at 8" off top of water.

This light is friggin awesome. ...

That must be with reeflink

I do have the reeflink, but you don't need it to switch between the programs. Just connecting to Ecosmartlive..with the cable it came with and you can change between all the loaded programs. .. the reeflink is only to do any and all adjustment via WIFI...

Was there a reason you didn't want to use the acclimation program?

Was this question to me?

Was this question to me?

Yes, sorry I didn't make it clearer.
I didn't see anywhere that you had mentioned using it.
Setting it at a lower percentage and let the software bump it up ( more intensity/brighter)gradually over a set time.

 

[Budman's Corals]

Well im not using reeflink. Only apex wireless and I follow the season table. There is no acclimation setting in apex or fusion. I just will bump it up every week like 5% or untill I notice corals are unhappy
