New Radiums
I got our new Radiums today and they kick A@@. So now we have 2 250 watt sakis, and 2 400 watt radiums on our 75 gallon sps tank. Glad we have a chiller. Anyway, the question I have is this. Right now we have the lights on the tank like this: Radium/Saki/Radium/Saki. We are noticing that the tank is quite a bit more yellow on the side where the saki is the last bulb, and we are wondering of we should go radium/saki/saki/radium or saki/radium/radium/saki. Also, when we installed the radiums, we took of the 220 watts of vho actinic. Do you think this was a good move, or should we put them back on? Thanks for the help, and I will post pics later on. Have a great day
Scott

Well now thats a though, 4 over a 75? I think I could get 4 HQI DE pendents over my 75.
Do you have a before and after pic you can post of the whole tank? Do the Radiums supplement the Iwasaki's enough to be eye pleasing without the VHO actinics? Scott Z. |

Hey Scott,
The lights are out right now. I will take an after pic tomorrow and post a full before and after comparison. The radiums really supplement the sakis well, without VHO. It is a really nice white with blue tint. I will post pics, manana! Scott G.

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I am using a blueline ballast by Sunlight Supply. It runs the bulbs a little bluer than the HQI ballasts, which I wanted with the iwasakis. Have a great night!!
