The black tang and gem tangs
View attachment 90496View attachment 90497

I will be totally honest, gem tangs have never done anything for me... But seeing them in a shoal is very quickly changing my mind
The tank is coming along swimmingly, looking forward to watching it grow in!

Yep, I remember my LFS had a gem, first time I had seen one, in about 2016, and the owner said they were $3,000. Crazy how things change.. Black tangs have always been high and constantly raising, since I have been in the hobby.

Those that have used the Radion RMS can probably attest to it sometimes sagging a bit. On its own it’s barely noticeable. But with the AI Blades attached. The 2-3 degrees over 48 inch bothered the crap out of me. Tried everything . Just gave up and bought additional mounts to see what aligned best. I give up for now. It’s .5-1 degrees off.

The multi kit works better.

I agree, it's a very poor design for such an expensive supposedly "high end" product. I'm working on a DIY fix for mine now, I'll let you know what I come up with.

I don’t like the way it flexes either. I tried. The only way I really like it was hanging and wife said no drilling. Soooo I lost that battle.

With tank filled , not too many options. I thought about making a custom mount that would attached to stand somehow. But with moving and agents annoying me I ran out of idea and time. But for now I’m ok with it. I might buy new blades. A little longer now that I know they don’t spread much

My sump radion sags a bit but it’s alone so hard to tell

 

[project1004]

I can tell mine sags too. I bought Fiji 22.4 ext to replace my current 24 (Same size tank) and I had to come up with way to attach the Radion using something else if not the multi light rail. I went with hang it from two pole with hanging kit.

I made a wedge from a 4×4. Not perfect, but good enough.

Would the wood rot?

Would the wood rot?

Probably in a hundred years.It's outside the tank, not in the water

Well… my levels bottomed out when I was away, diatoms coming in
