Hey i have a mixed reef running 2 xr15 currently I'm running ab+ with everything maxed to 100% I'm wondering if people are lowering the royal blue and uv it looks so much better but i don't want it to effect the coral what's everyone's advice tanks a pro star 90 v2

You would be happier with the pro and would get better par

You bought the blue model light, it has extra blue and not all are fans of it.

would you say its easier to take pics under pros to compared to blues

 

[VintageReefer]

If you want to take pics under blues you need orange filter lens or your camera goes crazy

These pics are under full blue, or blues and whites. They all use a orange filter lens. And no editing.

I wouldn’t get radion at all. Why limit yourself to a low-average par light that can do one spectrum or another. It’s overpriced and not very strong. Everyone else out there can do both from single fixture

I use reefbreeders, I can go full blue, full white. And anywhere inbetweeen

I don’t use radion

I have a reefbreeder photon 48 v2
They just replaced with new model, Meridian 35 is replacement for photon 48

The downside is the discoball effect

The problem with radions is you need to many to get the par you need/want. I would not run them either but do because I had them from a previous build. I need and run 3 over a 30×24×16 to get the par I need. One Photon is alot less than 3 xr15's.
I bought all mine used and would not pay the price they want for the new radions.
I would run the Meridians if I did not already have 3 photons.
To the OP, take a serious look at the Meridians.

Disco ball? I run photons and raduons, and they have some shimmer but no disco ball effect.
Can you elaborate?
