I have 3 radion xr15s mounted 10" above the water with the radion mounts on a rsr 525xl. I want to know what would be the ideal percentages for all the channels and intensity and hours to keep them on for? Currently have them at 55% overall intensity

It will depend on your goals and corals you plan to keep. Best thing to do is get a PAR meter to dial in the lights for the corals you plan to keep and their placement in the tank.

It will be a mixed reef with even amounts of coral :) the main issue im having is with the channel percentages and intensity with lights at 10inches off the water.

The highest rock sits at 5inches below the water line and the second highest at 7inches
