    I'm contemplating selling my Radion G1 (with TIR lenses) for a Reef Breeders unit. I have had my Radion since they came out & some days I love it, other days I feel I would be fine running the much cheaper RB unit and pocket the extra $. I surely won't miss ESL if I do sell the Radion.

    BTW I run a single Radion over a 70g mixed reef (mostly LPS, Softies, Maxima, a few SPS). My experiences with it I detailed in another thread. I had some issues with all my anemones beginning to move when I went from MH to LEDs and I'm still not completely sold on the LED tech, it is still in its infancy compared to T5/MH. I can say that it gets the job done, but still a lot of wondering why certain corals do well, other don't do well, under certain graphs, vs never having those wonders/issues with my 250w MH.

    Fairly recent pic of my tank with the Radion:
