Hello everybody!
This is the answer i got from Red Sea:
"We do not have any definitive word on an LED option at this point. I would encourage you to please check back with us at the end of June to see if there are any developments at that time." . . . hummmm

Lol, i told you all September release

If we took off the trimming off the top of the tanks would it look as clean as it does in the pictures on reefbuilders?

I put Radions in the hood of my RSM250.

How and could we see it?

I'm still not completely sold on the Steve's product.

There's so little room in the stock hood and the lighting is very very close to the water line.

I would love to see how you crammed the radions in there? I will likely copy you if it's viable.

Please post asap :)

Still, it's a bit pathetic by Red Sea to release a statement where they say that LED's are not proven and that they are too difficult to handle especially for beginners, and then all of a sudden a couple of months later they release LED tanks. They must have worked very hard in those couple of months with the LED's to go from unproven solution to favoured!

RS have in my mind lost a lot of credibility with how this has been handled. Still love their tanks though....

Looking at the e type the LEDs are mounted a lot higher, this would indicate that they can't resolve a issue of the lens required to spread the light within the current line up including the s series. I'd take a bet that the next generation s series has a completely higher light unit. At least they could reuse the current track on top of the s series tanks I suppose.

Wolf man I role with you on the first paragraph. :)

It's typical... All their current tanks would sit on the shelves if people knew something way way better right around the corner. I don't blame them.

I'm just hoping that they sell a kit to retrofit S-series tanks. I won't hold my breath but it sure would be nice.

Good luck with that :) I for one am looking into finding a way to ram some radions in there. Or possibly even just taking the top off altogether. I know evaporation would go up drastically, but I have an ATO so it's not like I have to manually do it myself.

I just hate the way the 250 looks with the top off. Very unfinished if you will with the hinges etc...

Fingers crossed whatever Red Sea has come up with applies to the RSM C-250 as well. I just bought it last month and was frustrated when I saw the news about the E-Series.

Oh, I can only hope it's so! I came from a 29 gal Coralife, with Steve's Leds, to a RSM 250 C and the lighting is a vast difference, as far as my corals go. But, I really love my RSM and it was totally worth the money.
