Maxspect razor x r5 light intensity

[Billldg]

I have a 120 gal tank with a maxspect razor x r5 200w fixture, I currently have it on the soft/lps program as it's a lps tank. I have a syna-g module on order as trying to adjust it is a pain. What type of settings, white and blues, do you all suggest to make it pop and allow the frags to grow. Chalices, favias, and acans r going in the tank. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

On the ICV6 there is also a specific Acan setting if you want to wait for that.

Seriously, cool. My syna-g/icv6 will be arriving Thursday, is this setting in the app?

Right now I have it on the soft/lps setting.

I have the macspect rsx 200w. I have no syna-g.

What i did for my settings was increase blue channels to maximum. Add whites as much as u want to.(i have about 40-60%)This does not bother corals since they use blue light mostly. The red and green channel are at 3-5%. Lastly i used a hanging kit to increase light diffusion by hanging the light higher above the surface. Since i use blues at 100% i can do so and still have sps growing nicely. Idk if thats helpfull but for a newer hobbyist keeping it simple worked really good for me. A frequent lighting change will lead to less vibrant colors since the coral doesnt like change.

Every little bit helps, thank you.

Thanks, when I get my controller I will change to the acan setting and see how it does from their

OK, that is about the easiest controller to set up, and it is awesome, thanks!

How’s the Acan preset for you. I don’t own any, only SPS and it was waaay too blue for my taste. Reminded me of the Ecotech AB+ setting.

 

[Billldg]

It is definitely blue, but I have all LPS so it works out great for me. I may add a little white light to it as I get further along. My acans and favias seem to like it so we will see.

Just bought this fixture yesterday so I’m still figuring this out, but really nice light!! I got the 300w for my 75g... maybe overkill?

I would recommend getting the syna G controller for it, it makes a world difference controlling it.

I just got the ICV6 for my 150W RZX over a 40B? How is everyone's dealing with SynaG so far?

 

[Billldg]

I think it's awesome, go to you tube and search for that controller, and even though it's a a couple year old video, it will help u set it up, had mine up and running in 20 minutes

Yeah, I watched the video and am excited to get it up and running. I was just wondering how the presets for LPS/Softies was working for you

So far my lps, acans and favias seem to love the acan settings
