Soon to make a decision of whether to go with Radion or AI Sol Blues so I'm tagging along

By the way, any suggestions in how to hang these up to the ceiling with the wiring kit? Do I need two or three radion over a 4 ft long tank ( either 90 (48x18x24 or 120 gallon 48x24x24) and the same if I were to go AI Sols?

the radions cover 24"x24" each, so 2 would be fine for a 4 footer. Here is a very good preview/alot of info and a look at how the after market hanging kit will look in use.

The height above the tank should be between 18 - 24 in. You need one Radion for every 24 in length. So You probably need two Radion for each tank.

Mainly I'd like to program the Vortech for night and early morning but I just can't get the powerhead and the light talking... Any suggestions?
