Radion G6 with reefbrite hybrid setup

[worstcaseontario]

Hello fellow reefers. Currently I have a radion G6 blue on my tank and am looking at the reef brite attachment to get more of an even spread of par to my tank. Can anyone confirm if their setup works with the G6 as well or if it only works with the G5 series? Thanks in advance

If you're referring to this Reefbrite kit it works fine on the G6. I have a couple of them and run them through the Reefbrite dimmer and my Apex.

You're welcome.

I really like the combination because it gives a very wide, even and shadowless light.

That's absolutely what I'm trying to accomplish. Dont get me wrong, the radion does really well on it's own. Due to no fault of the light(my own) I'm having some shadowing problems because of the layout I did with my rock scape. So I'm hoping this will help remove the shadowing and get more par out to some of the more fringe areas of my jbj24.

Do you know if the light has a ramp up/ramp down as well on it's own or is it just a straight on or off a side from what the dimmer can do?

I use G6’s and reefbrites. It’s a perfect combo

All Reefbrites are just hard on/off unless you add an inline controller/dimmer. The dimmers that I bought from RB for my lights use the low voltage control available through an Apex. Now RB has updated it to use Bluetooth. There's nothing special about the LEDs except the spectrum so I expect someone with a little expertise in LEDs could point you to a low cost generic controller/dimmer.

Thanks for the reply! If you are running ab+, would you mind posting a picture of them with everything turned on and running when you have a spare moment? I'm interested in seeing it running on an other setup from the initial tank I saw it briefly running on.

Thanks!

Fair enough, i will certainly keep that all in mind when it comes time to pull the trigger in a couple weeks. thanks so very much! I really appreciate it!
