Sps lighting critique my schedule

[a.t.t.r]

I have a 20g standard with a single xr15 pro mounted 8 inches above center tank with diffuser. I run at 80 percent max and use this schedule. I am hardly seeing any growth at all Am I not providing a long enough peak photo period I max out blue for much of the day and peak the whites mostly for my benefit (sorry I hate blue tanks) All parameters are near perfect. Use a single Nero 3 center rear wall at 75 percent max Do small amount of Live Photo daily and perform a 0.7 gallon water change daily (Automated) So I am thinking either my flow isn’t chaotic enough or something is up with the lighting

I might suggest just using the Mobius AB+ Template as this is optimized for SPS, and if you have access to a PAR meter you might want to try the schedule intensity @50% and see what the levels are around the tank before increasing.

The majority of the day is based off the ab+ settings until I add the white for visuals. Part is 200-300 at most of the rock work using a 14 year old par meter.

The "spike" in your schedule could be a possible culprit, ie: either your corals aren't getting enough sustained light during the timeframe they need it most or they're getting too much light during the short peak intensity (I'm only speculating since I don't know at what point in your schedule that you measured your PAR levels). Here's my Radion G5 Blue schedule based on a slightly modified Radiant Color template. I'm running a lot of soft and LPS, so my intensity levels are a lot less than yours would be. My PAR is around 500 at the surface, 175-250 midway and 50-75 near the bottom.
