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...

Thanks! I am still in the MH club for now as I am still in the planning stage in how to hang three Radions. I have two Ecotech Radion hanging kits and Martin of Modular LED custom made a hanging bracket that will hold all three Radions together but I am uncertain of how to hang this over my tank. I will most likely open to others for their opinion when that time comes as I will provide my details then.

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.
