Hey,
I'm curious, how many of you are using Radions on your heavy LPS reefs, mainly Euphyllia? What are your settings - percentage and Kelvin? I had an Evergrow 3 watt LED over my Euphyllia reef, around 75% white and 75% blue, but I scored a second-gen Radion deal I couldn't pass up.
I've got it set to 50% max, on a 4-week acclimation period starting at 40% of that 50% max. Thinking 20K color spectrum - any thoughts on that for a primarily LPS reef?

Re: Euphyllia under ecotech radion lighting
I've had experience with both gen 1 and Radion Pros over LPS-heavy reefs. Gen 1s seem to affect the fancier acans and similar LPS, making them look more bland and washed out over time. In contrast, the Pros don't have this issue. I've used the preset 18 and 20k settings on both models, and I'm really fond of the Pros. Currently, I'm running the Pros at 45% intensity, 8 inches above my 6ft 125g tank. My Euphyllia all look great, with no issues. I've had a variety of colors, including orange and yellow and baby blue hammers, gold torches, and orange frogspawn.

Appreciate the insight from your setup. I'm currently at 14K, planning to mix things up this afternoon and see what aesthetic I like best, hopefully with some solid growth to boot.

That setup of yours looks incredible, _Shinowa. The combo really brings out the colors.
