Help with XR15 setting!!!

[Jaybeastin]

I’m running two XR 15 G5 Pro on my redsea 350.

I’m having trouble keeping my torch coral and frog spawn happy. It’s a LPS/softies dominated tank. MY PARAMETERS ARE STABLE so that means it must be the light setting!

I’m running AB+ at 55% schedule. Is this amount of light sufficient enough ??

It could be the lighting, yes. Without a PAR reading it's impossible to say, but I run mine @75% schedule intensity on my Red Sea (close to the same water depth).

Is it LPS/ softies dominate ?

It's a mixed reef, with probably 30% SPS, 30% LPS, 30% soft and 10% anemone/other.

Well your tank look pretty good!
A par meter is best. After 30+ I just purchased one. It was not really needed with halides and T5's, but really helps with understanding the led spread and par values.
I would start at raising the schedule% up 10% every 2-3 weeks from where its at and monitor your lps.
I run 4 xr15 blue on my 80. I run ab+ at 100/100 1 hr up/down 10hrs peak. I started at 100/40. Took about 2 months to go to full100/100.
It is all acros.
With just the radions, I also run a quanta blue bar, I get 200 par on the bottom. Keep in mind my bottom racks are 12.5" to the surface in a 16" tall tank.
300 midway and 500 1" below the surface. I get another 75-100 with the meso blue bar.

Do you have a photo of the not happy torch and frogspawn? When you say all your parameters are stable are you including Magnesium in that statement? How is the flow? Might not be happy if getting blasted with flow. To increase the light you can just use the acclimation setting in mobius. Increase to 75% then go to the acclimation setting... set the days to like 28 and set the percentage to whatever brings you to around 55% on the lighting tile on the Home Screen for the tank in mobius. My frogspawn that I have had for years and is the size of a basketball gets lots of light. About 300 par or more. But would be fine with less. I find mine to have pretty wide range of PAR that it will be just fine in.

I currently do not have a picture of torch atm. I gave it off to a friend to see if she can recover it.

Here my parameters

ALK 8.2-8-5 Hanna
Cal 430-450 Redsea
Magnesium 1400-1500 Redsea
Phosphate 0.10 Hanna
pH 8-8.2 Hanna
