Ecotech Radion Pros question

JohnnyP_reef · 05/18/2013, 08:15 PM

I'm looking to switch my 120g reef from (2) 20k 400 watt halides and (2) 110 watt 460nm VHO's to (2) radion pros. Does anyone know if the radions can put out as much light as my current 1000 watt system? And can I ditch my VHO's also if I install radions. And the BIG question.... Is it worth it!

Most of us run our Radion Pro's turned down. Mine are running at 65% right now and that's with the color channels at various percentages. Whether it's worth it is up to you and your goals.

See some in person before you decide. I like the look of LEDs, but not everyone does. You might not if you're used to having your tank bathed in a kilowatt of light.
