Radion Gen3 Regular Lenses or Wide Angle TIR Lenses

juano908 · 12/16/2019, 05:38 PM

Need some opinions about my Radion XR30w Gen3 Pros lights.
I have 2 radion and 2x54w Blue+ ATI T5s on my regular 48"L x 21"H x 18"W 75 gals tank mounted between 22 to 24 inches above my rock scape, my tank is SPS dominated so my question is witch lenses would work better for my tank the regular stock lenses or the wide angle TIR lenses?
Your help will be much appreciated.

Juan I believe the Gen 2 to Gen 3 pro you have to send them to Ecotech to convert them it’s lens and leds and program

Not sure what you mean but I got the wide angle TIR lenses from Ecotech, I replaced the stock lenses with the wide angle and I'm currently running the AB+ program at 75% total intensity but for some reason I think that at this intensity is not enough PAR.

With tir lenses you have to increase your intensity to keep the same par level

Yeah, I may have to bring the total intensity close to 100%.
