Radion gen 4 pro light schedule question???

[Straight.Reefin]

I know most people are running coral AB plus schedule and its obviously proven and works, but it’s just too blue for my liking and was thinking of running 14k spectrum instead.....

Will this schedule work for mainly sps and lps?? I just never see anyone talking about schedules besides the coral lab ones

Thanks for sending that!! But does the other schedules or programs such as running 14k work just as well as the coral ab plus schedule does? I just have a bunch of sps and don’t want to mess anything up

I could be wrong, but I believe the schedules are mostly baselines/guidelines as many if not most reefers adjust them to suit their needs/preferences. If you google "Radion Schedules" you'll find a lot of them that have been altered.

It doesn't grow sps for me.

What doesn’t? Coral ab plus?

Ab plus. Sorry, growth isn't completely lacking, but it ridiculously slow. I abandoned it for the wwc 900, which also produces slow growth. I have been running radions for several years with the sps growth program with success. Those tanks we're all open top with the lights mounted at least 15 inches off the water. My current tank has a canopy so the lights sit much closer and the spotting (gen 3) just nukes corals. I have purchased the $ 65 design flaw replacements ( I am sorry, diffusers) and hope I can run a more full spectrum, higher output schedule without cooking everything.

What is different from the coral ab plus schedule and the WWC 900 schedule??

I heard the diffusers work pretty good and give more of a T5 spread, I have the gen 4 pros now but eventually when my mini colonies get bigger I’ll either add more radions or diffusers to reduce possible shadowing...
