Aquatic life t5 hybrid and 2 xr15 gen 4 pro on 60g?

[mpekoske]

Just asking if on my 60g 24 inch deep if a aquatic life hybrid t5 with 2 xr15 gen 4 pros will be to much light... have 2 coming just not sure if I should use both of just one for a sps tank... thanks for any help

Use them both, you can alway lower the intensity of the Radions, I have the same setup on my 12 gal tank.

Currently running a hydra 26HD in the hybrid now at the AB+ setting... what intensity do you think I should start with if I add both?

I don't personally think it will be to much, i ran 3 xr15 over a 57g tank and it was fine. Do you have a par meter or can you rent one from your LFS. If so it's super easy to dial in the intensity without it you are kind of throwing darts blind folded.

My tank is 48x24x24, this is my program, also AB+ setting

When my leds dip at 10 am and 5 pm is when my t5’s come on. I get par reading in the high 100’s to 200 on the sand bed. On top of my rock work I get par around 350.

Thank you guys for your help... pat meter from my lfs is an old one that does not do well with LED lights
