Personally, I find the AB + for the G5 Blue lamp quite bright and the colors don't pop as with the G4 Pro with AB +. How does that look with you? Especially at Homewrecker and Walt Disney Tenuis. So .. show your G5 Blue SPS light settings

Same here i brought the white and green down too and it looks nice. I put defusers on too and the par stayed the same and way better evenly spread .I agree. I adjusted the white and green to 30% and cyan to 50% with the rest at 100% then upped the overall intensity a bit to offset. Result was more colors popping, same par and more pleasing to look at. I was surprised with how bright/white the ab+ spectrum was on the xr30 g5 blue light.
This is what I put my settings at then the intensity is at 65%. I have the diffuser in as well. when reading review, everyone was talking about how blue this light was. I almost bought a pro as a result but glad I didn’t. I thought my light was broken and even checked the box to ensure it was the right one lol. AB+ is not blue at all. Even the 14k Phoenix template looked more blue than the AB+. I like the look now with these settings and colors pop in the tank. Par falls off faster the deeper you go compared to my reef breeders light but the brightness and quality of the G5 is no comparison imo

Did you end up keeping these settings and how did the coral respond?
that sounds okay so far. Unfortunately this is not the case here with us. I don't really understand the lamps. The light, as my wife says, is very green when everything is 100%. It doesn't matter what you do, as soon as cold white, cyan and lime are switched on, the light is far too bright and zero blue! everything looks bad. I am still of the opinion that Ecotech has either built the lamp software measures or Mobius is just bad and the lamps do what they want. at least I don't see any gain compared to the old G4 lamps.
