Thinking to get ecotech radions anybody have them or think something is better
I have a 90 gal tank want mixed corals sps , lps and soft

Have you looked at the AI Vega or GHL Mitras?

 

[Euroreefer]

what are you using now?

Look into the fathom like I said at the swap. Just because it cost more doesn't mean it's better. Also I don't like the option to change the spektrum of the lights. I want to purchase a light and turn it on. You pay for all the research and development for them to tell you what's best for the corals not rial and error on your part.

I understand that you like and recommend a brand of lights but that statement above is just a bit over the top.....

I'm using 6 bulb t-5 current pro

Ever think of a 250 watt MH?

Just curious, why are you changing, aside from the cost savings in terms of electric? I have been using T5's for years, with great success. I am a big fan of, if it is not broken, why fix it. By neighbor changed to LED's, I think his tank looked and performed better in terms of growth with his T5's.....

MH run hot and in summer my chiller runs 35% to 40% of the day with 6 bulb
T-5 and three times or four times I've put sps coral in tank color always loose color then die

 

[peteyboyny]

Just curious, what kinda t5s you running? Color temp?

 

[4Fish]

Oh, you have MHs. Water parameters could also impact your SPS more than the lighting. I should mention
that I mostly have soft corals in my tank, which might contribute to my success. But my BTA is doing very well.

reefbreeders.net controllable led's. I have them and they are awesome.

Im running 4 AI sol blues over my 90 and they are awesome couldn't be happier

I'm running 2 AI Vegas on my 120 and I'm very happy so far. No heat issues, and I'm only running the whites at 20 percent so far. Very bright and my corals are doing great.
