Changing Lighting, thoughts welcome

[NateDnw]

Hey all,

I have an IM Lagoon 25 and am thinking about changing out the lighting. Right now I am running a Radion XR15 G4 Pro and 4 T5s. I dont love the current light set up so i got the Orphek Atlantik compact. My t5s run from 1 until 7 and my Radions ramp up to about 70% over the same 6 hour photoperiod. The corals seem happy and healthy but their coloration is less than ideal which is why I’m looking to make the change and experiment a bit. Any thoughts on how to change the lights out, new photoperiod and how to accomplish all that without stressing or killing the corals?

Much appreciated

Have you looked at your trace elements for more coloration;)
