Yeah, that’s fairly blue heavy. I use the Orphek “quick settings” and choose the 10k option. It’s not pretty to the eye, but my camera responds well to it. It’s easier to add blue back in using software (or your phone photo editing) than it is to take it out.These were my settings

Color of the tank Radions you have to turn the whites down to almost nothing to get corals to look good so your tank looks like a bottle of windex. The Orpheks you get good color with whites on so you get amazing looking colors and fish colors.
kinda disagree.. may i ask what percentage the whites on radions are ? i mean even in the pic the side with radons look much brighter ( and hence the washed out look) ..Color of the tank Radions you have to turn the whites down to almost nothing to get corals to look good so your tank looks like a bottle of windex.

Spread and blend of colors less disco balling.

On both LEDs everything was at 100%. They may look brighter but the fact is that the Orpheks performed better as well taking par measurements. I'll have to see if I still have the par numbers I took. At the surface they were pretty close but as you went down into the tank the Orpheks were giving me better number and more evenly spread par numbers.
Control ability the edge goes to Radions as you can control all individual colors opposed to 4 channels. Also infinite time points compared to 8 or 9 depending on gateway for the orpheks
Par numbers and leds also dont go hand in hand .. kessils are one of the most notorious for this. lets say a kessil 360N with both channels set to 100 would show around 70 only at the sand bed of a 20 inch tank ( personal experience) but leaving them at 100 on both channels pretty much kills any chalice in long term where as from t5s some chalices gladly take over 200 par.
Agreed, I have a Kessil A360 over my Biocube, had Radions/T5 combow and now Orpheks/T5 Combo. For me Orpheks have worked best with color and growth. I know a few people who tried Orpheks and went back to Radions.Par numbers and leds also dont go hand in hand .. kessils are one of the most notorious for this. lets say a kessil 360N with both channels set to 100 would show around 70 only at the sand bed of a 20 inch tank ( personal experience) but leaving them at 100 on both channels pretty much kills any chalice in long term where as from t5s some chalices gladly take over 200 par.
not sure what you are running your orpheks whites at normally but anything more than 50% on radions whites i assume would bleach any acro.
im not saying one light is better than another but the way to compare leds is not by how bright they look or what par numbers they show. i personally wouldnt use any other led than radions ( one per 24 x 24 inch section, sps or lps or softies tank) but to each their own
Well I worked out a deal with a LFS to see if I could save a Chevron that wasn't eating for a few weeks with them. I got it eating but not enough it seems.
