Radion XR30 Gen5 AB+ Question

[Rrwilson1223]

Hi all,

I’m upgrading from 4 RedSea 90s to 3 Radion XR30 G5 Blues over my Red Sea Reefer 750. Was wondering what intensity other folks recommended for my type of tank with mostly Acropora/SPS? I’m planning on running the Coral Lab AB+ setting. Bought the mounts which will place the lights at 9in above the tank.

Currently run my 90s at 95% blues and 30% white at peak. I do have a screen top so I know I’ll lose some par.

So any Radion folks out there with advice for a newbie to the XR30? Should I start at 40% intensity?

Thanks all!

i'm running 10 xr15 g5's that i started on 40 but now i'm at 65 and i think it's plenty. Very strong numbers

Oh very cool. Thanks! Do you mind me asking, how big is your tank? How do you like the Radions overall?

I think you need to look at your specific tank, a par meter really helps. 100–150 on the sand, 350 ish 3/4th the way up is a good mix
