I have a Innovative Marine 25g lagoon with a XR15W Pro. I have struggled to get the intensity of the light at the proper level. I keep mostly 80% zoas and a few mushrooms and acans. The light is on a RMS mount using the 120 degree lens, and is currently running at about 75% overall intensity. My program runs 100% UV, Blue, and royal blue, and the whites an greens max out at 15%. I have seen people run the Ecotech mixed reef program that is close to mine but adds in about 15% red, and run it at 100% overall intensity. Does anyone run this tank and light set up that could add any suggestions on the best intensity or program to run the light at? The acans and mushrooms are happy, but zoas just aren't opening all the way. I have a Kessil 160 on another tank, and when I put the kessil over the 25 gallon the zoas open up within a few hours. I have used a Par meter to try and set the intensity to proper spot but the zoas don't respond. I even tried to match the Par to the Kessil but the Radion was running at about 30% when matched, and looked like it was in a "moonlight" mode and very dim.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
