Default Radion Gen 2 vs Gen 1

Be careful when comparing the Radions. The Gen 2s are quite a bit stronger (20 -40%) than Gen 1s. I have both, and really noticed a difference.

I have never owned the AI's or other LEDs, so can't say much about them. But have read that the spread for Radions is better (than the AIs) when closer to the water. I have mine 8 inches above, and they seem to work very well at that level.

I have mine in canopies, and I like the Radion cooling. They have fans that exit the air at the top sides, so are good for mounting in a canopy without restricting air movement. My canopies exit air at the top rear, and run quite cool (esp compared to my old T5s).

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Fair enough, I haven't seen them yet. But my SOL tank looks just like any Radion G1 tank I've seen as far as light and overall look and coral coloration is concerned.

Sols and radions are not on par not even close.... Same goes for vegas

To the OP go radions over Vegas. I think 2 will do just fine, if you go to sps dominant you may need to add one later
