I had used three gen 1 radion with TIR lens over my 120 before switching over to the Mitras. Looking at your pics I don't think they are off much... Are you sure that piece is a red planet? It seems to look different than that... Prov closer to a milli like... I had the Radions ramping up 3 and down 2-3 each day. At peak it was running 100% at 12k and between 6-7 inch above water line.

Here is a link of pics taken between 12k and 14k back in Sep 2012...

Btw, like that garf bonsai and I miss the purple poison SC

I bought the red planet from Denny who got it from Levi.

Although it was 1/2" and dark purple when I got it. I should find a frag and stick it in there and compare.

The purple poison is awesome its colors are quite nice actually. Almost lost it last year. But it bounce back and is putting weight on

I have some nice colors and some wild pieces that turned green. I do want a radium but not the heat or evap

Your PPSC looks a lot like mine when it was alive and coloring up. I think it took at least 6 mths to show its true colours off. I also had a sliver of the SSC. Was brown -grey like for 16 mths before coloring up. I had high up... Prob 8-9 in from the lights, same for the PPSC.

Btw, I had the Radions running in a custom mode and it was always at 100% intensity then( except for when it goes to night mode).

Perhaps placing the red planet at a different location.... More flow etc..?
Good luck and hope you solve this mystery...

This tank is still young. I set it up this spring. So I know it takes time. It's growing fast too. Maybe I'm just impatient

Thanks for the pics Titus, a few nice pieces forsure. You may need to be patient to see better colour, sps takes time to colour up.

I just restarted my tank in March aswell and have had great results with the T5, most of the sps I have had coloured up quite nice and consuming alot of alk and ca, most have encrusted and grown in the last few months.

I've been on an sps rampage lately and consuming some choice frags. By September this year I will add some blue magenta led strips to see more pop in the colour of my corals.
