New bubble tip - Radion settings?

[ShepherdTech]

Hi all! Just added a bubble tip and excited to have one again after all these years. When I had one previously, I had a metal halide with my 29 gallon, then 4 T5s with my 75 gallon. I have 3 Radion XR30w pros and two T5 60” true blue retrofit bulbs. The three Radions have diffusers, AB+ with intensity at 74% during peak intensity (210 gallon 29” tall). Top of my rock work as it sits now (aquascaping change incoming to add height and secure rocks) is at 169 par. The BTA is sitting lower in the tank than the par meter sits.

What spectrum and PAR are the Radion users shooting for? I understand supplementing food can help with lower lighting, but would like to know what you had success with. Thanks!

I would leave your lights the same and let it adapt to them.

I agree. The settings sound fine. I'm running both of my tanks with Radion (G3 and G4 Pros) using AB+ at 100% and 75%.

I will leave it as-is. Not as much of a fan of the AB+ look, but it isn’t horrible.
