Radion Users

Hey Guys, I recently replaced my ATI Powermodules over my 240 gallon SPS tank with Ecotech Radion Pro's. I have a question for those that are running Radion's over their SPS tanks, what intensity are you running them at, and what program are you running? At the moment I'm using the Radiant graph and really like the color but it does grow a lot of algae on the sand bed. I assume this is due to the red and green LED intensity in the radiant program. Any responses will be greatly appreciated.

My graph is built around a modified 20k, less red, for 5 hours. Start at 45% to 85% for for two hours. Deep blue on either side for 2 hours. My SPS have really responded.

I use a modified radiant color with extended daytime hours and more white for about three hours in the middle of the day for more growth I like it I run my lights for 11 hours at 65 percent

SloppyWhenWet, Thanks for posting your .etg file. I'll give it a try. Do you find by using a lot of red that you get a lot of algae growth?
R20, any chance you could post your .etg file? What are you growing under your radions?
