That looks great!!

How far off the water do you have your radions? Are you happy with the spread?

The radions are 11" off the top of the water. The sides of the tank are def darker so I tried to put everything to match lighting requirements. Everything opened up and nothing is looking upset. All the colors are popping on the corals and the fish are checking out all the space!

Looks great Sheena, nicely done.

Those 3 Radions look awesome and more than enough for a 180g! No "dark/black" corners,very minimal spotlighting and very nice colouring with no t5 supplements needed to achieve it!

The radions are great and I am AMAZED at how different the corals look under these lights, was running 2x54w t5ho's and LED's and the colors just pop now! I'm not at all a "techie" person so programming the lights has been a bit frustrating, but the more I play, the more I figure out.

I wish I could get decent pics as these ones are really washed out. I killed the battery on my camera yesterday, so will try again tonight.

I bet your coral all look a lot smaller in the 180 compared to the old tank.

Yes thats one thing I noticed too is the Radions really make a persons corals "pop" out. Yes the programming takes a while to figure out and to get the right colours and intensities set up but well worth it!
