Hi,

I just bought the XR15 g5 pro and really prefer the daylight look instead of the very blue look. However, I can’t really find the recommended settings for this spectrum. I also dont know if its okay to just turn the royal blues and blues down regarding the health of the corals. I do like the look if al the leds are set to 100%. Is that recommended or do you really advise against that?

Thanks!

If you like the look of all leds set to 100 then simply turn them all down to your desired intensity level, keep in mind par. If you don’t have a par meter then I would start at a lower intensity and slowly ramp your lights up making sure your coral remain happy.

I also like white and put my leds at all the same intensity and adjust the overall intensity, I am at 30% all channels. Nice white look
