Hi to all.Would like to ask what % should i run G4 Pro for my 65 gal mixed reef.
Thank you. Or if we have tread please just redirect me.
 
that all depends; If you have use of a PAR meter, that would be best to see where your PAR is at different parts of the tank and make adjustments to intensity from there. For reference, I've got two 30 Gen4's (with diffusers) over my 100 cube with 4 t5 supplement bulbs. The radions peak at 35% and the upper portion of the tank is around 300-350 par and the bottom around 175 to 220.
 
Thank you XNavyDiver, try to look for some par meter so make sure the G4 running at 35%?

You don't have to set them to what I have mine set to. Remember; my radions also have a hybrid t5 fixture that surrounds them, so I'm also getting a lot of light from those also (I had to turn down the radions when I installed the t5's because of the increased light output over the tank). The best bet is to use a par meter and set your % to your findings.
 
Ok thank you for that advise i try with PAR meter,i think the cheapest is Sayene
