Initial radion xr15 blue settings

[andy28115]

I know it’s overkill but it’s what I have. I have a gen 5 xr15 radion blue I am putting over a fluval evo 13.5. I plan to orient the led board the length of the tank. I was curious coming from the stock light at what intensity should I start at? I currently have softies but plan on adding lps in the future. My rockwork is not built up at all but rather it’s all more or less sand level. I plan to use the acclimation mode as well. Any suggestions are appreciated. I don’t have access to a par meter currently.

With such a powerful light over a tiny tank I would highly suggest renting a par meter. My best guess would be 10% all channels and start the acclimation at 50% and see what happens.

I have to wonder if you will create an algae bomb too with that light on a nano tank. I run 2 XR15 pros on my RS XL300. 22 inches deep. I ran them at like 40% for LPS and softs. I'm at 70% now with all SPS on top.
