Hi guys I recently purchased a Radion G5 pro 15/Aquatic Life T5 combo for my 60 2x2x2 cube.I don’t really have to credit available at thus time to rent a par meter.I want to move my acros from my 120 with sand to the bare bottom cube.Do you guys think I’ll have enough par to get the job done? They are doing well under kessil/T5 combo now I just wanted to try bare bottom and radions.Thank you

With Radions being powered a little higher than kessil and T5s packing your punch I think you’ll be just fine without a par meter!

I’m running the Radion at the BRS recommendation setting with all blues turned up,yellow and red at5% then warm white at 25% then WW at 50% with total intensity at 100%.That only equals out to about 80% total so I was a little concerned that it might be enough.

That should be plenty to be honest. One way to tell par or how I tell is a put a zoa at the bottom of the tank, if it stretches out then you need more light if it doesn’t then your good. Not the most accurate but it has worked for me!
