what intensity to set for xr 30

[kac0143]

I have two Generation 4 pros on top of my waterbox 130 using ecotech marine tank mounts. My tank is lps and softies. Coral are near top of tank all the way to the bottom.
What kind of lighting schedule do you suggest and what brightness and intensity? Thanks

I really depends on what you want. I will always recommend the AB+ program. I looks good and is proven to grow corals. As far as intensity, that's the tricky part. Without a par meter you are only guessing, XR30's can put out a ton of par. I hate to tell you a intensity setting because it may or may not be to much. If I had to give an setting, I would go with maybe 30 percent to start as its a LPS/Softie tank.

running about 35 percent right now. Thanks for your input.

I recently just installed 3 xr30 gen 4, running AB+ at 50% and my sps is growing like crazy
