Using Both AI and Radion Lights At The Same Time

[ThrowingFitz]

I recently upgraded from a simple 40 gallon tank (got away with using one Prime 16 on it), to a 145 gallon frag WB tank. While trying to be thrifty and save money I acquired great deals on two used Hydra 32's and two XR15 g5 pros. I thought I would be able program them pretty easily to follow the same light schedule and spectrum with something like AB+. I talked to an individual in the hobby and he said he mixed lights all the time, and I would just have to tweak my settings. I've come to learn that my inability to make my own schedule with the mobius app just makes me want to throw my phone across the room (probably user error). I tried looking for pre-set schedules through Facebook, but the schedules and spectrum look very different, and for whatever reason the mobius app has error messages a majority of the time with my Radion lights. Has anyone else used both lights on their tank, and how did you run them?

I've always used different combinations of light brands to get the color I like. I got tired of trying to like other peoples choices.
On my 240 I'm using a pair of Philips CoralCare gen 2 fixtures, a pair of Reef Brite bars and a Radion XR15.
On my 66 I'm using Radions and Reef Brite bars.
