![]() I have 2 AIs running on my 120G. I have to say I've been really happy. I'm not currently doing SPS but I have to say my Ricordia colour has been restored since switching from T5.
I can't say I owned Radions as I didn't like the idea of the controllers in each unit. I think it was really smart of AI to have the controllers external and able to control 9 units. There is no way for a picture posted on the internet to give anyone a realistic idea of light quality there are simply too many variables J |

![]() After reading all the numerous threads on the subject, I think I will buy the Radions when I can save up the money.
I have been searching for a light that won't make all the reds in my tank look like dried blood for the last 10 yrs (ever since I switched from vho to MH's) and have spent 100's of dollars trying different metal halide bulbs without success. I think with the addition of the red and green bulbs, radions will finally achieve that |

![]() Marie, I had thought about the reds earlier, and I think I can supplement red very easily for less money. I think. Ok, I made it up, but it seems sound

You probably can but I'm not even going to try and attempt anything DIY........ I am the plug in play queen if it requires me to read an instruction book to put it together then I don't want it. That's why I like my BK skimmer it didn't even come with an instruction book ![]() |
