I like your fish 🐠🐟🎉 and your videos 😊

Facts....I have 3 XR15 G6 Pros over a 35.4"L x 21.7"W x 20.9"H tank and i need crank it up to 80-85% before i get good enough numbers. Keep in mind, I have the narrow lens kit. Just disappointed with the price to par ratio.

Worst mistake ive made in reefing is buying xr15s. Never again.

If your ph really dropped to 7.6. Its most likely your alk dropped to low. Causing your coral losses .

Great stuff. I also have a 300. Let’s get back into it.

❤❤❤ keep up the good work! 🎉🎉🎉

Man that Jawbreaker looks amazing 🔥

Hopefully will get to see you at the BAR frag swap next Saturday!

Great decision! Love everything of what you got! Set it and forget it. Soon get Neptune for automation! You are doing g great!

How much are you selling the jawbreaker?

Yes to much duck weed I think 👍✌️🇨🇦

Don't be scared to start over, I am doing the same thing. This hobby is to expensive and takes a lot of time, it is important you are happy with your tank!

Just get smaller fish that can live in the tank you currently have for the rest of there lives , Rehome the tang if need be, You can get plenty of beautiful saltwater fish for that size tank.

Looks awesome! I’m dreaming of having Amazon style tank in the future

Just rehome the fish for smaller ones and change the equipment just sell it for something else, the tank looks beautiful

I say leave that tank as is and rid of everything else. Otherwise your current setup now is definitely fire!

Are you looking to sell your xr15 g6 and did you end up using that other mp40?

What temperature you running at

Nice job! Thanks for sharing 😊

I have Nicrew hyperreef 150 it’s $300 with controller in Canada. This is 35% white 100% blue 3 inches is 1000 par, 6 inches is 750, 12 inches is 400, 18” is 250

The light is your problem, as far as intensity is concerned. I run Radion G6 Pros on my tank. I can absolutely confirm that PAR readings are weaker than they should be, at a cost of $529 a pop, on G6 XR15’s. I am seeing much the same. At full intensity, I get about 250 PAR at the top of my aquascape. I have them on EcoTech’s own RMS mount. I’ve just got a standard WaterBox tank, nothing custom or super deep. Relying on light bouncing off the glass to achieve higher PAR, is a faulted strategy, if true, as every reefer’s tank is different. Also, they came out with that lens kit to increase the strength late in the product’s life cycle. Obviously not planned from the outset. They did it to solve the misstep of making a weaker intensity light and catching flak for it, and they expect reefers to pay for the cost of their faulted design approach. In short, it’s not a bad light, but it does lack in intensity, especially for the price point. You’re not crazy or wrong in your findings here. And regardless what Greg Carroll says, in the case of intensity, the light is the problem.

I was sent here by a concerned citizen. Greg mentioned that the lights need [clean] glass to function properly, and he's right. However, as you've shared, the G5/6 glare sucks out loud and you need to limit the spill because of your kids. To limit glare, you've gone the shade route, but that limits the amount of light that makes it into your tank. You can use mirrored vinyl to line the inside of the shades or maybe consider that Ecotech has released several generations of Radions without changing the mount. Although the mounting height recommendations haven't changed that much, take a look at ReefDudes' mounting height. If you'd like to lower the lights (and maybe remove the shades), consider the Kessil A-Series mount. It's far better at maintaining the light level and the height is adjustable. It's easy to retrofit to a Radion. Why these recommendations? At your mounting height, the high-intensity lens kit is a bad idea. The spread is tighter than a G4, and you'd need to raise the light to eliminate the inevitable hotspots. As for light settings, reef lighting isn't magic. Pin your blues and raise the red/green/whites to make it look nice then adjust for PAR. Or just run AB+. Please feel free to hit me up on Instagram, R2R, or Humblefish if you need more lighting help.

Interesting. Not sure if user error but I have a waterbox 110. 4ft tank and my g5s give me 350 par at about the same depth at 70% (only have whites up to 30%). Also with nutrients if you arnt testing weekly I would suggest doing so. Stability is key and your nitrate and phos are high. Sps color will suffer with too high of nutrients as well as too low

I have a mixed reef with Radion G5 I have no problems growing acropora and other sps along with Lps at 60% intensity. I do have a PAR meter, and I'm happy with the numbers. My tank is 4ft with 2 XR15's and 1 XR30.

Radions are junk. The g4 was the last of the good leds after that's their junk. They are made in a Chinese plant, and you can find them sold as s8s models. Echotech just bought them and throw there name on it. They no longer make their own designs anymore. So all of you are spending $1000 for light you can bye without the Echotech logo on it for $250. And the funny part is the S8S model comes with Cree leds and a mean well driver.

Your issue is your nutrients are a bit high for sps to be happy. Not to mention those shade need to come off and then some fill lights added. Your asking to much from 2 lights for that size tank. I run a 4 foot tank sps only with 2 xr15 with 4 blue plus t5. I’m at 38% intensity and reading 350 par across the top and 150 on the sand.

A mix reef is the hardest tank to keep truly happy. To many corals need something different. Personally i like to keep sps in its own tank. I have never had an issue with soft and LPS together but the flow tends to be the hardest part to deal with once you add SPS.

I have two AI Primes on one side of the tank and the XR15 G6 Pro on the other side of my 4-foot 75 gallon mixed reef... I know there's definitely some things where all things aren't exactly equal, but the Primes grow corals better. 🤷‍♂ I have also found that when I started dosing AFR it was my Monti's (all Monti's) that really took off the most.

Could it be your flow? My SPS tank has an insane amount of flow and all my arcos have awesome polyp extension. The flow I have would never work for a mixed tank. I use a reef breeders photon with 250 - 500 par. I also naturally seem to have super low nutrients too. Good luck.

You should of just upgraded your hydra 26 to luxdium leds get them and you have the best lights u can have in the hobby

The light is not your problem. Way too many successful hobbyists using that light. Based on what I’m seeing, you would benefit from adding the high intensity lens kit. Personally I feel that those light shades are the stupidest product that a Radion owner can add. The Radion performance relies on banking that spread off the glass. If you don’t like, want, or need the extra spread, the high intensity lens kit will be a better option. Also look for a SPS mentor in your area as you can learn a lot more from one voice rather than sifting through many voices. Good luck.

I have an Apogee 510, a Radion XR 30 Pro G6, and Neptune Sky (bought at launch). About 12 inches under water the Radion has 350 - 400 par at 80% power on PHX14 setting and the Sky is 400 par at 50% power using the Neptune Sky setting.

Is your Light G5 or G6?

Looking forward to your video on how you got rid of Dino’s.

Loving the mushroom selection 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Are you running G6 or G5?

what ph meter do you have????is it good?

if you can get 100 PAR on the sand, then PAR every where else should fall into place.

So out of topic but if you have an extra Sunkist you want to trade or sell lmk bro im also in the club and in NorCal 😎

What are the res shrooms higher up on the rock?

i see colors popping out dude....looking great...keep on reefing!!!!

Search BRS XR15 High Intensity Lens Kit.The original G6/ G5 spread was too great with less than ideal PAR punch.

Think they have brought out new reflectors for the radions to boost the par for those that need it

Try the Ai Blades with your xr15s it'll easily double the output and coverage

Sps need stability more then anything, Alk being the big dog but everything needs to be stable and rock solid for them to grow and thrive. They don't like much change and they take forever to get back into their routine after a change happens. Something I've learned is when having issues with sps its just natural to wonder what's wrong in there now but the reality is it could be perfect at that moment but Something 2 weeks back like a big alk swing or salinity change etc could've happend and it's just now showing its face. So never leave out things that may have happend before the the time you notice an issue

Dont feel wrong I found out the same and I find my sps grow very slow under Radions XR15. Thats why Im switching back to T5

May benefit from boosting PH a bit. BRS did a investigative video where they proved you can achieve up to 30% more growth with 8.3 average PH instead of 8.1

There could be a PAR difference between the model you got as well. Pro or Blue

Dinoflagellates

Love it, I have one waiting to be setup. I was thinking of making it my anemone tank.
