hey guys
I was hoping I could get some screen shots and info on people radion light schedules on their apex fusion.
I'm having massive trouble with corals and my lights so was hoping to get a rough idea mainly of brightness and so on.
Thanks

What are the dimensions of your tank? How high above the water are the lights mounted?

I just had a member of the local reef club come over last weekend with his new par meter and this is what we came up with. I've got the XR30 Pro's. I'd been running them at 36% thinking it was enough. Turns out my problems with keeping sps alive was both not enough light and my alk was too low. My tank is 72"x24"x18" and I've got 3 lights. This gave me appx 250 directly under the light about 8" below the water line. My lights have 80 degree lenses so once you got a couple of inches outside the cone it dropped pretty good. Yesterday I got 120 degree lenses to switch out.
