Ok folks like the title say what intensity are you guys running your lights at with a 30 inch deep tank? I am curious. Let me know thanks.
Happy Reefing :)

My large tank is just slightly deeper, about 31-32 I think, and the XR30 G4 Pros x 4 are run at 90% for most of the day, but I have the cloud effects on as well, to provide some break from the constant ‘sun’

hmm, this is good. I am trying to figure out why my lps and softies seem great even my anemone but my across
seems to brownout. Water chemistry if fine salinity is fine. but I noticed in my 40b my light intensity is greater and across thrive in there. My lights are only on from 3pm to 9pm. In the picture below, the red arrow depicts an intensity of 43% the blue arrow 45% but on the far left-hand side, it says 62% I'm confused so what is the real intensity? Maybe I should leave the lights on longer also let me know. Thanks.

My lights are on from 9am to 10pm at 90% with cloud effects if it helps. Let there be light! Lol

I go blue in the evening from around 7pm with a slow ramp down but that’s about it.

This might help, this is what I do anyway, and don’t even ask me about ‘par’ unless your a golfer like me! Lol
