Hi all,

Would like a second set of eyes on my lighting schedule. I am running 3 Radion XR15 Pros (all with diffusers) over my 4ft by 2ft mixed reef. All lights are on a RMS mount (7in AWL). Total water depth to the sand is ~18in. I have a mixed reef, SPS on top, LPS/Montis in mid, and Zoa/Mushrooms on the bottom and lower portion. The schedule I am running is almost identical to SPS AB+. Having some issues with some Zoanthids, which could be a little too much light. Should I lower the intensity?

Based on BRS TV investigates, here is my approximate Avg Par: (I reduce by 45% for the intensity slider, then another 15% for diffusers) This would average ~116PAR at the bottom.

Here is how the lights are set up on the tank
