So I just got the new radion for my frag tank and I was wondering how high to hang it since the tank it's only 9 inches tall,
More info on tank .
It's a jbj 20 gal frag tank
Dimensions 24Lx20Dx9T
Also what percentage should I run it I don't want to burn all my frags , Thanks in advance ..

It really depends on where your frags are coming from?
what lights are you running over your main tank?
Id go maybe 12 inches off the water and start at 50% and maybe a lower time frame per day and just move it up over time if your worried about it?

It all depends on which model you have. I'm running mine at 65% and mine is 30" tall.

Monster, I think you got this all wrong. Radion over the display, chinese LEDs over the frag tank.

Honesty, I would start at like 30% and then move up from there. I'm running mine at 75% on a 32 inch deep tank, 18 inches above the water.

I would start it at 25% just to be safe. The second gens have the TIR lens which makes them a bit stronger.

I agree, I would start at 25% due to the fact that the tank is so shallow
