Analyze my XR15 schedule

Aquacrazed · Dec 19, 2025

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.

Just run AB+ and make it easy on yourself. It works. If you really want to you can also go download WWC templates off their website.

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!)
