I have 2 xr15 blues on a waterbox 100.3. I am just using the ab+ template and upped thr time to 12 hours of light. Screenshot attached. I am just unsure if I should adjust any ramping or intensity in the template as well? I don't have any coral in my tank yet, but will go with a mixed tank as I get the tank established.

Anyone have a screenshot of how they set their templates within Mobius?

Thanks so much!

I have a xr30 blue. I do a quick 30 minute ramp up to my peak intensity for 3 hours, during which I ran all channels at 100%. I later dropped the red, white, and lime down to 50% due to some color fading issues. After the three hours a ramp down to all blues 100%. Tweak cyan for your color preference

I just got my XR15 G5 Pros installed yesterday. Was using a different light. So far I’m using a modified AB+. During most of the day it’s regular AB+, then later it ramps the whites way down while keeping some green and red for fish pop. Then it turns off the greens, then the red and it’s just full blue as it ramps down. I literally just installed them so who knows how it will work. Was just looking for mainly AB+ but adjusted to suit my viewing preferences in the evening.

@Lokipsl Do you have a screenshot of what program this looks like in the app?

It seems the AB+ template just has the intensity set at 50% (the blue shaded part) but it could go as high as 80% (where the dotted lines go). Am I am interpreting that correctly? and why do they keep intensity at 50% and not at the 80%?

It’s probably so someone doesn’t set it at 100% by by default by applying the template and fry their stuff if they don’t bother checking par. It’s meant that you adjust it to your tank.
