Radions can be sold or are you stupid?

i think you should go to reef central and join your fanboys.

you have no credibility here anymore

They have it in there heads that an AI is a better fixture- too much crack i guess

We're gonna take a commercial break for a while :)

Yes, you're right. My apologies, it was mostly me that did that. I did start a AI thread, so I'll take my chatting over there.

Carry on comparing (but let's not fight, ok? ) :razz:

I have 2 AIs running on my 120G. I have to say I've been really happy. I'm not currently doing SPS but I have to say my Ricordia colour has been restored since switching from T5.
I can't say I owned Radions as I didn't like the idea of the controllers in each unit. I think it was really smart of AI to have the controllers external and able to control 9 units.

There is no way for a picture posted on the internet to give anyone a realistic idea of light quality there are simply too many variables

so my big question is if they were the same price would you all have still picked sols?

i'd but 2 sols over one radion for the same price

I may pick the Radions over the SOLs if they were the same price, based solely on physical appearance. I do think the Radion is a nicer looking unit. I haven't seen an AI in person (well, I did but didn't know what I was looking at back then), but I have seen a Radion and I like the slick appearance.

However, I can't pay an extra $1000 for aesthetics :)

Sanjay's article gives value to the red for illuminating fish, so it may have some purpose afterall, but again, not $400/unit worth.

After reading all the numerous threads on the subject, I think I will buy the Radions when I can save up the money.
I have been searching for a light that won't make all the reds in my tank look like dried blood for the last 10 yrs (ever since I switched from vho to MH's) and have spent 100's of dollars trying different metal halide bulbs without success.
I think with the addition of the red and green bulbs, radions will finally achieve that
