Who run Radion G3 Pro on SPS dominated tank?

[thanhreef]

I just sold my AI Sols which were used as supplement for 6 ATI 39W T5. Now, it's time to upgrade it. I can do either add another 2 more ATI bulbs or go all the way with LED. So far, I like both Hydra 52 and Radion G3 pro and am leaning to Radion G3 pro.

tank size is 40"x25"x25" and SPS dominated. Two G3 pros will give a lot of power.

I did research, read and watch videos a lot online. Who here has run Radion G3 Pro on SPS dominated tank for at least 4 months? How is the SPS result?

Thank you,
Thanh

Old setup:

It will grow and give color based on your spectrum choice. I used to have the G2 and it grew pretty well. I had a schedule that ran 10,000k during the day for 4hours and 20,000K for the remainder of the lighting period.


New setup:

I have since then switched to T5 to try it out and to save fixture costs and get less shadows in my tank. I originally had the XR15 which was cool but the cost for two fixtures is greater than just one 36" 6 bulb ati fixture.

I was about to purchase 2 Radion G3 Pro and I came cross ATI Sirius X4 LED Fixture. Need to research more :shout::shout::shout:

Big fixture a small amount of LEDs. It looks nice but from looking at that tank that fixture hasn't been over long.

I went through 36 pages on http://nanoriffe.de/">http://nanoriffe.de/</a>. Love Google Translate. I don't think Sirius is ready for SPS dominated tank. For that reason, Sirius is not my list any more.

Tomorrow, I am going to order a pair of either AI or Radion. It's tough

Why not the ATI/led hybrid?

It was on my list too and I saw it on your tank. It's amazing beautiful. It's still one of the best fixtures, but it would cook my tank if it was hung inside a canopy. ATI does not support that. I want give LED another try

I'd like to see your tunze 6105s, please text me when you have time. Thank you
