How do I tune my Ecotech G4s for full spectrum?

[Shazreef]

Hey Reefers,

I've seen a lot of vids on full spectrum lighting being able to grow corals faster and contributing to healthier corals then having the blue spectrum come on later in the day when you wanna look at the tank. For now, i'm using the LPS/Soft template on the Mobius App with the intensify running at 50%.

What are the specific settings for tuning my Ecotech G4 XR15 to get this full spectrum?

How long should I run this full spectrum?

Here's a bump since i can't really help.
I'm a simple guy and when I ran my Gen 4 XR15s as I do most of my lights I set all the levels so the tank appearance pleases me and then adjust the percentages to get the par I need. Not the recommended method but it's worked for me.

Ab+ is full spectrum on those and runs fine.. I’d set it for 12 hours with a hour ramp up and hour ramp down… those are the best lights radion made if you ask me.

I don't know how this would translate over to your Ecotech...but this is the blend ratio I use in my ATI Straton Pro.
And I run that at 50 percent intensity overall which is A LOT. This is actually a preset called "Shallow Reef". And for growth, it's the bomb. Visually, while very accurate to nature, it's kind of ugly on its own. The color is perfect sunlight replication, just without the shimmers. It's beautiful, but it does not do corals too much justice visually since anything but the brightest corals will look brownish.

So I blend in blue and sometimes a little more red to my visual taste with 2 kessil a360x and 55* reflectors to give the shimmers and enough blue to make everything pleasant to my eye.

Thanks a lot guys. I downloaded the mobius templates from WWC and gonna give that a try to see if I get any improvement in growth. One of them has the cool whites and warm whites ramping up to around 70% in about 4 hours, holding there for like an hour and then coming back down to only blues being on for the rest of the 12 hours. I guess this ramp up is where the corals gets the full spectrum.
