Anyone in the club using this fixture? I have used just about every light fixture in the hobby and I'm giving this a try on a mixed reef.

Anyone with this light have any feedback? I miss the days when it was just watts per gallon.

I'm still on the fence.

I ran a Gen 2 over my 30 cube, I was than pleased with performance, so I replaced the Radion with the Ocean Revive Arctic fixture and so far I'm super impressed with the OR light, the Arctic fixture also only costs around $200.

Thanks for the feedback. I love the light, the UV really makes the pro, I just don't get the color so far that I want and I have high end sps that I can't play around with.

I have been running the pro's for 4 months maybe. I am just now starting to see the positives. My high end sps are just now starting to color back up better than in the past. At first the all washed out but it was from me starting the lights too intense. I upgraded from the gen 1's and used to run them at 75%. So when I started the pro's i put it at 60%. Waay too strong! Now I just keep them at 45% and couldn't be happier. I will say that my sunset mili still looks pale. also I have to keep some stuff in the shade. I have a tyree war coral that I can't take out from the shade because it just cooks. Even on the bottom of the tank

Do you run a custom program? I'm running the coloring program at 65% over a 59 gallon rimless... Thinking of getting another and cutting the % to get better coverage. My tank is 36 in and they have 24 in coverage.

I didn't bleach mine initially, the acclimation program is pretty nice. I have a Jarod's rainbow milli that I don't get color from and my red planet is more green than red but is encrusting
