I'm currently using radiant colors preset from their ecosmart live database. I am torn between liking and hating, I am getting growth but not a lot of color. I am starting to get into acros again and curious if anyone is willing to help me set up a program that is going to fit better with my tank?

I see you have the max intensity at 35%.
I would think you could go higher.
I started my acclimation program at 35% and went to 65%
I am using the high growth program, but changed the 2 high points to a 20k look and then added a set point right in the middle and made that 14k.

Hey thanks for your response, my lights are only 6-8 inches off the water. That's why I have it so low
 
What about brightness of green and red lights?? I heard they help algae growth or something? Is there a percent you shouldn't put those 2 colors above? Also my 3 radions are 8 inches above my 180 ans I have them going up to 55% max

My greens and reds never go higher than 35 percent. As far as adding to algae I've heard both sides if the argument.

I think diesel is the r2r expert on radions, maybe he will chime in if were lucky...
 
Hello Acroholics I am new here but I have been using the Radions for a while now
I have a 150 Gallon tank that is 48 x 30 x 24 Deep and I run the radiant profile as well
In my opinion I think your intensity is too low. I run at 80-85% and run 10 am to 10 pm
Please don't adjust all at once, use the acclimation feature built into the lights
