Hi All,
I've had a nuvo 10 set up for about a year with an AI Prime 16hd over it and everything was growing pretty great (zoas, frogspawn, acros, ricordea...), the only real issue I was having was getting more growth and color out of my superman and fruity pebbles monti's. I recently did a tank move into a nuvo 20 peninsula and since the AI spread wasn't covering the tank enough I mounted a Radion xr30 Gen 3 that I had from an old tank. I'm not seeing the same color and polyp extension that I had with the AI, mainly in my acros which were growing like crazy even off of the sand bed, and am trying to figure out what the best setting would be for the new setup.
For reference, my AI was running from 8am-5:30pm (hour ramp up/down) at:
UV - 100
Violet - 100
Blue - 100
Royal Blue - 110
White - 12
Green - 5
Red - 5
I currently have my radion (hanging via RMS mount) set at the following 8am-6pm (hour ramp up/down):
UV - 100
Royal Blue - 100
Blue - 100
White - 12
Red - 5
Green - 5
Intensity is where I think I'm lost, I currently have it at 55% (intensity in my chart points maxes at 31%). Since the tank depth is the same as the 10gal I'm trying to mimic what I had before since it was working quite well. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best settings for the radion for growth and color?
