EcoTech Marine Diffuser for Radion XR30 G5/G6

Product Overview

The EcoTech Marine Diffuser for Radion XR30 G5/G6 is a premium lighting accessory designed to enhance the performance and appearance of your Radion XR30 G5 Pro, XR30 G5 Blue, XR30 G6 Pro, or XR30 G6 Blue LED fixture. By softening and blending light output from the individual LED clusters, the diffuser creates a more uniform spread of light across the aquarium while reducing hotspots and harsh shadows.

Many reef keepers choose to install a diffuser to achieve a more natural lighting appearance, improved colour blending, and smoother PAR distribution throughout the aquarium. This can be particularly beneficial in SPS-dominated reef systems where consistent light coverage is critical for optimal coral growth and coloration.

Designed specifically by EcoTech Marine, the diffuser integrates seamlessly with the XR30 fixture and can be installed in just minutes without permanent modifications.

Installation Guide

Step 1 – Turn Off the Fixture

Power down the Radion XR30 and allow the fixture to cool before installation.

Step 2 – Clean the Fixture Surface

Remove any dust, salt spray, or debris from the light housing.

Step 3 – Position the Diffuser

Align the diffuser frame with the mounting points on the XR30 fixture.

Step 4 – Secure the Diffuser

Attach the diffuser according to EcoTech Marine's installation instructions.

Step 5 – Verify Proper Fitment

Ensure the diffuser is seated evenly and securely across the fixture.

Step 6 – Restore Power

Turn the fixture back on and verify normal operation.

Step 7 – Adjust Intensity if Required

Many reef keepers increase light intensity slightly after installation to compensate for the modest reduction in PAR output.

Common Mistakes

Not Compensating for Reduced PAR

Diffusers improve spread and blending but can reduce PAR output. Light intensity may need adjustment after installation.

Assuming More PAR Equals Better Performance

The primary benefit is improved light distribution, not increased light output.

Installing Without Coral Monitoring

Changes in light spread can affect corals differently than simple PAR reductions.

Failing to Clean the Diffuser

Dust, salt creep, and residue can reduce light transmission over time.

Purchasing the Wrong Diffuser

Ensure the diffuser is designed specifically for XR30 G5 or G6 fixtures.
