    What do you guys think, I have a 37g column tank 20x18x28. The ecotechradion is 7 inches of the water. I run it at 65 percent but some of my sps thats lower in the tank looks to be a little brown it only runs at 65 for 4 hours then ramps down.
    Looking to hear what you guys think, thanks
    All other tank parameter have stayed stable

    I started my radions 8 inches off the water on my 125g at 40-45% and ramped them up to 65-70% over 4 months. No bleaching but my SPS just died. totally cooked them. I would start lower

    I used to run a diy cree led setup and I ran 24 lights 8 cool white and 16 rb. those ran at almost full power so idk if most of my stuff is use to more light and 50% on this radion looks dim compared to what the tank used to be
