I don't have a good camera. But I'll take some pics in a few minutes

Cool mang!

I have seen sps under Mithras and ai, I have also seen the radion led at Jl on their small tank and it looks pretty natural colour for light.

I am now running t5 and while I am happy with the colour visually, I have always leaned toward the blue spectrum more. I plan on adding some stunner strips of blue and magenta to the mix to see some more pop in my sps.

I use the Natural Mode with my Radions, which ramps them up gradually to a peak (high noon) and then back down to night (with moonlight on). I also have the depth set to 60 ft, which changes the light, too. Works fine for me, and my SPS are growing really nicely. I use both Gen 1's and Gen 2's.

I have my Radion set on high growth and running at 50%,and hung about 7" above the waterline.i have no problem corals with blue,red,green,purple colours.

I had used three gen 1 radion with TIR lens over my 120 before switching over to the Mitras. Looking at your pics I don't think they are off much... Are you sure that piece is a red planet? It seems to look different than that... Prov closer to a milli like... I had the Radions ramping up 3 and down 2-3 each day. At peak it was running 100% at 12k and between 6-7 inch above water line.

Here is a link of pics taken between 12k and 14k back in Sep 2012...

Btw, like that garf bonsai and I miss the purple poison SC

Proteus 08-29-2013 02:32 AM

I bought the red planet from Denny who got it from Levi.

Although it was 1/2" and dark purple when I got it. I should find a frag and stick it in there and compare.

The purple poison is awesome its colors are quite nice actually. Almost lost it last year. But it bounce back and is putting weight on

I have some nice colors and some wild pieces that turned green. I do want a radium but not the heat or evap

Your PPSC looks a lot like mine when it was alive and coloring up. I think it took at least 6 mths to show its true colours off. I also had a sliver of the SSC. Was brown -grey like for 16 mths before coloring up. I had high up... Prob 8-9 in from the lights, same for the PPSC.

Btw, I had the Radions running in a custom mode and it was always at 100% intensity then( except for when it goes to night mode).

Perhaps placing the red planet at a different location.... More flow etc..?
Good luck and hope you solve this mystery...
