To be fair, the Radion bunch can probably sit in the fish room, tilt the lights and maybe get a bit of a tan!

ok....lets do the math here with regards to cords......just for arguments sake lets say three modules.......

AI......3 power cords = 3.....+ 1 cable permanently connected to one module for the controller = 4...... then 2 cables connecting the second and third modules to the unit with the controller = 6 and then Bblinks was tossing around the idea of adding more LEDS in the form of strips to get the three colors that the AI is missing....so on a tank his size lets say for the sake of argument another 2 fixtures (probably more like four) so that =8


Radions 3 power cords = 3.....usb cable to computer only when programing the light (wireless programing with phone apps on the way)......so lets say = 3.5.....

Here's my version of math. I AI owner + 1 surf board + 1 beach + 23 scantily clad surfer girls = really happy I have a few cords zapped to the inside of my canopy where I can't see them. :razz: I'll post pics -lol
