Checked out your previous post about your radion settings, trying to do some slight conversions from your g5 blue settings to g6 pros. When you have your color settings maxed out from 10-1 ish, is that a very white look or still blueish? Especially with the t5s added just curious if you are having a pretty intense white period during the day or not. If you could post a video sometime of your radions running the test schedule to see the whole timeline that would be super cool.

I’ll try and post one when I’m back. But I would say the color rendition appears similar to 20k radium halides with the radions and t5s on.

For anyone who aims to replicate my lighting I would highly advise you to take advantage of the cloud function. This greatly reduces the chance of the corals bleaching from continuous intense lighting.
The clouds allow the corals to be exposed to very intense par at peak hours (near 600) and allows them to not be overexposed.

Super helpful thank you, going to try the cloud function do you have that 30% chance during the whole day or only peak hours?

Yea, I find them to be very happy in my systems and very tolerant to many different lighting and flow conditions.

That is awesome !!! There are some good ones popping up online,and they are INSANE. I had to follow you on IG to get my daily dose of amazing lol.

I don’t remember off the top of my head since I can’t connect to mobius while I’m at school, but the main point is to have the cloud coverage during peak hours of light intensity.
Having clouds during the other set points could be beneficial too dependent on other variables and your overall lighting schedule.
