Adding T5 to Radion Coral Acclimation

[lakai]

Currently I'm using 4 xr15's in the middle and two xr30's on the sides. I'm adding a aquatic life t5 separated so that its 2x two bulb fixtures, one front and one back. Since I can't control the intensity of the T5's do I dial down my radions ? I have them at 60% intensity already and corals are use to it. I know I should use a par meter but I'm just wondering if anyone had general tips on how to add more lights to a system. Thanks

Yeah i'm doing a comparison and combination with the Radion G5 + T5.
I would need to know what version of Radion you have but stick around, I think if everything goes alright this Sunday I will release the video and screenshot on the forum.

Maybe cut by 12% will be my instinct, something around this, it's better going lower then higher for the corals.

Using all G4 pros and 80-watt blueplus + purple , blueplus + coralplus bulbs.

I previously had some orphek light bars on the front (blue and uv) and corals seemed to love it but ever since I removed them and put t5 the corals aren't really liking it. For now I'm only using 5 for 5 hours a day and they are starting to color up a little bit again.

I have a seneye and will do some par readings. Let me know what you figure out. I'm running them at 60% intensity right now but i have a feeling i'll have to turn them down to 40% or lower to start.
