Heres something I just found a few minutes ago


"Ecotech has said they are likely to release the Mac version of their software in the near future. It'd be nice if they had a concurrent release with the Windows version but at least they are working on it"


This is a quote from Johnathon at Ecotech
"The next software release will allow the LEDs (while extremely dim) to run evenly between clusters. The new release will have a software tuning procedure that will allow you to get your light(s) running at the lowest level achievable with the number of LEDs that the fixture contains. The light level achievable will be lower than they currently are. At this point, I do not have a release date scheduled for the new release, but you can look forward to it some time in the near future."

Never heard anything about controller compatibilty. I would guess in time GHL and the Vertex Cerebra will be able to control both. Hopefully its iphone, ipad and imac compatible as I own all 3 now.

Guess I'll hold off on the controller for a while longer... Perhaps Ecotech will come out with their own controller that would sync with the current radion software... Imagine how great it would be... And controlling it all on your iPad...lol

Yes that would be cool and it wouldn't suprise me at all. Myself I am waiting to see the new Vertex controller when its released if it ever does get released!

If you are referring to the performance, I would say that it is, imo, definitely worth the money however, I am certain that you are gonna get a lot of different opinions with your question...

I agree with Wayne.. I love mine and wouldn't go back on the purchase even if I could. I like em, my corals like em, and my power bill likes em.

If you are not keeping nems, SPS & clams one might be enough over that foot print, you might have to play with height to find what works.
