Hey everyone so I finally got a chance to rent a par meter and after seeing my par levels I'm really unsure of what I should set my radion intensity too. My tank is a 25 lagoon 24x20x12 and light is a radion xr15 Gen5 hanging 8" above the tank. I tank mainly consist of softies and LPS sitting on the lower level of the tank but I do have a RBTA that sits halfway up the tank.
My problem is if I set my intensity to 80% the get the recommended par of 150 for my sand bed my anemone would only get about 180 par. If I raised my intensity to 100% the par for my anemone would be around 230 and the sand bed would raise to 200. Which intensity should I be aiming for, would the anemone be ok at lower level pars or will my lps/softies do fine at 200?
