Please critique/comment on my XR15 G5 Pro schedule (yes I should've got a Blue instead of a Pro, I realize that). It's on a 20g long Innovative Marine mixed reef (70% LPS 30% SPS) home office tank. I have it running from 9AM to 11:30PM with a 3 hr peak.

I run a gen5 15 blue ab+100%.
1hr ramp up/down 8 hrs peak.
Keep it simple.
You can do the same with the pro running all channels at 100%.
Mixed nano 30+ coral tanks 8 months.

Also latest version of software has something called Schedule Builder which is new. I haven’t used it and don’t intend to but you might want to play around with it.

10hrs doesn't work for me, I need 14.5hrs so I've had to reduce the peak photo period to accommodate that. Also don't like the look for AB+ I like it a bit bluer. What I have is a mix of what WWC and TSA use (I do like that look!)
