Radion lighting question

[d0gFartz]

So I’m setting up a new tank a reefer 170 and have a radion G5 blue. I’m using the coral labs AB setting but noticed it was set at 51% on the mobius app… anyone use that and run it at less than 100%. I been running a cube 10 with a prime 16 HD with good results and it’s definitely brighter. I use the water mixed reef schedule from water box site that AI created. Here’s my mobius app screen shot of the radion setting

Yes, you’ll want to adjust the schedule to influence your overall intensity. You may want to start out a bit lower (ie: 40-45%), and adjust as you start adding corals. A PAR meter can also be really helpful.

I run 4 Radion XR15 Gen 5 pros and also run the AB+ schedule on my 120g mixed reef. What you're seeing is that you are running 51% of the schedule. That schedule shows that it maxes at about 80%, so you're at 51% of the 80%. If you upped it to 100% schedule, your lights would max at 80% power.
I strongly suggest what @blaxsun said, and get yourself a PAR meter. Mine are nowhere near 100% and I'm around 150+ on the sandbed and 350-400+ at the top of my rocks.

Another option is renting one from BRS.

What’s your intensity at on the AB+?

Ok thanks everyone I understand what your saying now on how this light works. I will I have to invest/rent a par meter

What’s your intensity at on the AB+?

90% of the schedule of 80% max.
