Hey Reefers-
I currently have an XR-30 Gen4 pro over my 25 gallon lagoon (mixed reef). I am using the RMS mount, which puts the fixture at about 8.5 inches above the water line.
My tank dimensions are : (24" x 20" x 12")
I have been using a modified SPS AB+ template at 30% maximum intensity. I have turned down whites, reds, and green slightly. The intensity on the actual graph is reading out at 24% maximum intensity.
My main question is: what % intensity would you recommend for these lights? I can't really tell if its too much or too little at the moment, but it does seem like my corals were more colorful under 25% intensity (21% intensity on graph). Ive used the Aquatic Log calculator, but it doesn't seem very accurate with the Gen4 pros.
Thanks so much,
-BG
