3 - Gen 4 XR15 Radions & T5 light schedule?

[Reefersanonymous]

Hello, I am looking for recommendations on my light schedule for my 120g reef Savy mix reef. I have 3 gen 4 xr15 & 4 t5 bulb set up. Any recommendations on the radions schedule and how long should I be running my T5 bulb?

My tank is newly cycled and only about a month old so I’m only running my radions basically all blues right now at around 30% for maybe 6 hours.

It depends on what you plan on keeping.....and every tank is different....but, I have a similiar setup. I use two ATI Coral+ and 2 ATI Blue+ T5 bulbs. My Radions are at 45% intensity in the 18-20k range. I run the T5s from about 12 noon to 7PM while the Radions are on from 11am to 8:00PM, ramping up and down.

Thanks for the input! I plan on keeping a mix reef with few acros once I feel my tank is ready. I’m really just waiting for my diatom bloom to start/ pass so I can start adding corals. I’ve started to notice a little brown on my sand bed so I’m thinking it’s about to get started.
