Xr15 G6 Blue intensity

[NATE1979]

Can someone tell me if 65%total intensity on a 45 gal lps/softy tank is to high for this light b/c I do not have access to a par meter, I have heard the intensity is not that strong on these and I have heard the intensity is pretty strong.

You can crank it to 100% over the course of a week or 2… it’s not good to run the leds at 100% cause it shortens their lifespan but your corals will be fine.. I had 2 over a 60gal cube at 80% with zero problems

Mixed reef with SPS on the top half of the tank. Before adding SPS I ran around 45% percent with acans,torches, zoas and hammers on the bottom half with no issue. SPS were brown at that percent and colored back up once I raised my intensity to 80%. I raised it with the help of a par meter.
