I was wondering if anyone has used a radion xr15fw (yes freshwater) on a reef tank. I am getting ready to set-up a 24X24X20 rimless cube and I have this light. I can also supplement with a ecoxotic panorama pro strip I have. I understand I would not be able to do sps until I upgrade the light but will this get me started? The light has no problem with adjusting to the proper spectrum just not sure about the intensity although it does seem very bright. Thanks for any input.
