You are definitely a reef junkie! Setting up another tank, full well knowing you are moving soon. LOL:der:

what i like about LEDs, and radions specifically is you can change tank sizes without having to buy or build new fixtures. just add more or less radions! rob needs to post more pics though!

I'm going to take some pics Sunday. I added a maricultured "bonsai" frag two weeks ago and It was brown with bright green polyps, today I noticed the tips are now purple, I'm quickly loosing my fear of the LED's not doing their job.

like Mr. D said, the experiment where they did MH on one side and LEDs on the other did it for me, it's almost identical. Once you find the right setting, you're golden.

Finally getting around to updating my thread, I've gotten a bit carried away; I really need to thin out my collection of SPS.

Keep it up and all you're going to get is a swift kick to the back side!

Do the acans and palys not bother each other so close?

I want this cube!

No, they don't seem to mind each other. The acro sitting up front did tip over onto my Utter Chaos and melted 2 polyps.

That rake is amazing how much did it run you? Glass, sand and rock?

I bought everything secondhand, the tank retails for around $200.

Looking great! So I guess you are happy with the radion since you bought one after testing the loaner. I've seen tanks where they do great for SPS but I'm wondering how they do on chalices. What do you think??

How did you hand/mount your radions..?
Do you have a build page/site?
Do you have more pictures of lights?

I had a bad crash after the move, I lost 75% of my acros and a month later My heater went bad and cooked almost all of the other acros. It caused all my acans to bleach out and a few zoa frags to melt. :(

My chalices love the Radion, I'm getting great growth even with the 2 crashes.

I want some updates!

Nothing much to update Tanner, I'm "upgrading" to a 40 breeder in a couple of weeks and going to run MH/T5.
