Radion xr15 pro intensity

[muggle0981]

Curious those who have radion xr15 pro- mine are g5 version…

what intensity do you run at-currently im at 55% on the lps/soft but think i need to get to 60%
24 inch deep tank-lights about 10” above tank no diffusers

I have 3 of the same lights on a 125g mixed reef. I run the AB+ setting at 90%. They are 7in high I believe. Get a par meter that way you can dial in your intensities.

What are tour corals?

Some acros, hammers, torches, frogs, chalices, montiis and polyps.

Using an XR-15 g6 pro which seems to spread more than G5 with less intensity than previous generations from what I read. I'm running the brightest part of the day @ 75% AB+ spectrum. I have a par meter coming this week so I'll have a better idea of how much light I'm getting.

How big is your tank? You might be surprised once you start measuring.

This is over a 25g nano tank. Still all frags but growing.

I have one gen-5 pro over my tank. It’s a 2’x2’ cube SPS heavy mixed reef. I started at around 60% running the AB plus template but they’re now at 90% + supplemental lighting from some reefbrite LEDs that are running at 100%.

That’s giving me 300-250 ish Par up top and center and maybe 150 ish down at the bottom and in the corners.
If you’re only doing softies and some LPS, I think 60% is more than enough.

Yes i run between 50-55%….had borrowed a par meter middle was 120-150

bottom seemed to be 80-60

Too was about 180

Thinking if i got to 60% that should help my bottom corals a bit
