I have Radion g2 and pro and only run 45% of power. My LPS are beaching a bit and I would like to lower the light to see if it would help.
Should I descrease brightness or cool white? Anyone knows? Thanks!

I am not sure what it means to lower intensity. Do I lower all spectrum or just the brightness? I just changed it to 40% brightness at 14k the peek and about 20k morning and evening. It is about 30" from sand bed to fixture. Thanks!

Brightness=Intensity. Lower it, and also lower your cool white spectrum. That helped me alot in the beginning, as my lps were doing the same. Cut the cool white down to %50, Blues all the way up, lps, esp chalice prefer more blue light.
