Tonight, I finally unboxed the Radions...


My buddy, Chris Lewis (Out of the Blue Creations) then came over and worked on the sump and plumbing.




Room was quite tight in the left corner so we decided not to add a gate valve.
Working on the return plumbing...



After the plumbing, we tried one of the lights...



Boy, they are bright!

The tank is now ready for water...

I am surprised that you ditched the GHL Mitras. You were having more success with them than anyone else I have ever seen.

It will be interesting to see the changes in coloration.
