Hey Guys/gals


I have these lights both on my nano and my 93 cube ... i was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas what to put them on for settings ... I plan on having both sps and lps corals ... right now i have them on 60% ramping up on a setting that somes with them from 10am to 11pm ....


does anyone use these lights?

Sps you can use the radiance or colour mode. I'd start them lower at maybe 40%. 5% a week for 8 weeks. High growth is another good mode I guess. I sold my G2s. Ineffective on a 27" deep tank

so u had no lock with the tank being so deep ??

thank you for the info reef keeper

You will want 2 lights over the tank. Radions are almost like spotlights. Eco tech will blubber on about 24x24 coverage. It will LIGHT that, but the par number drop 25-40% if you aren't directly under the LEDs.

I have the Hydra 52 and the settings in the picture are what I use on my 180. (Yours will look different in the interface) I would set the colors to what you want them to be and then lower the intensity to 40% and slowly increase the intensity 5% a week for a few weeks like reef keeper said. Just watch how the corals respond carefully.

Here is a link that a few people have uploaded with there tank details and success. These are all .etg files which can be uploaded in to ecosmart live and then saved to your radion. Im currently using the one I attached below. It was uploaded to reef central from John from ecotech. Its a great starting point. Like stated above dial back the intensity to about 35% to start and go up from there as your coral respond.
