6500k plant growth. Something you would use for a indoor green house ect. Definelty would be a good fuge light.
1000k more of a white light.
1400k has a tint of blue
2000k is really blue.
I think some exoctic stunner strips would work really good.
I had 1 on my old 6 gallon fluval edge and it was awesome and grew corals great.

Well, I'm going to
See how it goes and maybe try to add an actinic and a daylight like 10000K in the next few weeks.

Aquatraders have a box light for 90 bucks plus free shipping. It's not a radion, but I kept anemones, and sps under it fine.

well, what I have now is extremely bright and seems to be within an acceptable wavelength range. Like I said, by the end of the month I may pick up one in the whiter daylight range and one actinic blue to hold me over until I can get a really nice upgrade.

Wow my spelling was off just noticed I meant to say they have bad customer service. I have my old panorma (fist gen) that you can have. It needs a new wall transformer ( they are about 10$ at Home Depot) and I think one led is burnt out but otherwise it works really good, it was the one I had on my fluval edge.

If you have upgraded to Radions, what did you do with the LED lightbox...

Actually it's too MANY zeros with the k designation
K stands for kelvin there, not thousand, and not to be confused with Kevin, who is a scuba diver figurine from the GA aquarium.
Often you'll see 65K, 10K, 14K, 20K. That's just shorthand. But for someone who's new to the hobby probably best to not confuse. (Case in point, Jacob)

I think there is a reason you don't see this light over reefs. I personally wouldn't torture LPS into a slow starvation. Much like getting one meal a day instead of 2 or 3. Its cool to have the tank lit but I feel like your trying to move too fast, especially if your already impulse buying cheap lighting and talking about buying coral frags. I am going to requote something said earlier in this thread said "buy cheap buy twice."
Good lighting is cheap used, anything you find in a hardware wont be suitable period.

Absolutly, but I would stick to maybe soft corals for now. Save the money you would have spent on LPS frags and just save for the next light. Softies are :shades:
