What generation of Radion is it?

I know for mine, I have to connect to EcoSmart and plug in a USB. There you can change down the intensity.

Let me know if you find a ReefLink. I'm looking for one too. lol

I have been using Radions since day 1 and still just use the original desktop Ecosmart Utility on my laptop with the USB connection. As often as I adjust it, certainly no justification for getting that ReeflLink. Also, have tried the various Artificial modes and files with different settings. But have come back to the simple Natural mode where you just set % and depth, and let it do the rest with ramping and spectrum mix. That has worked best for my coral color and growth. I do keep an Artificial setting that I can switch to with the press of the button. It highlights the color pop of the corals, and sometimes I turn it on just to impress visitors. But that setting is not the best for my SPS if I leave it on.

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

Thanks for the feedback Walter. Fortunately I don't have any sps in this tank at the moment. I haven't had a very pleasant experience with LEDs and sps in the past. This tank will mainly be for my rock flower anemones and some exotic lps

2nd day in and tank looks happy so far... *fingers crossed*
