‘intensity %’ sweet spot utilising Radion Gen 3 pro’s with Coral Lab SPS AB+ spectrum

[teast]

Is anyone else trying to get the ‘intensity %’ sweet spot utilising Radion Gen 3 pro’s with Coral Lab SPS AB+ spectrum, wide angle lens and diffusers?


I am running the schedule at 75% which delivers 49% overall intensity at peak (24% white/red/green) The challenge here is that whilst I am getting acceptable PAR under the lights (280/300), the PAR on the edges ( e.g far left Milliepora) is only hitting 138 which is not enough to allow it to colour up. I am wondering if anyone is going through the same challenge? If I add more light at the edges, I'll push up the middle. I already have 120 wide angle lens and diffusers so looking for any ideas

Might just be perspective in the picture, but how close are your lights? You might be able to spread them out a bit more to get better coverage on the edges.

What's the height of your tank?

Have a look here. I think our reefers have the same depth, so this may be helpful

I have (2)XR30's Pro 3 no diffusers or wide-angle. I run a very similar program bit modified. I am thinking of getting wide-angle, tank is 44"x 26"x 24".
