I have a 96 x 31 x 31 tank... I am trying to tweak my 6 radions 3gen pro’s. I have them now set on a scheme that I downloaded on the Apex fusion.. just wondering as the lights are 10 inches above the water line and the tank is 31 deep.. thoughts on what level intensity is proper...

Tank is sps dominated.. in other words for those who have deeper tanks what intensity levels are you setting.
 
My tank is 30 inches deep and SPS dominant. Here is the schedule I am running. The custom spectrum is located below. I run diffusers on my Radion Pros (forget what model, the gen prior to the new ones just released) plus I have 4 t5s running Blue + ATI bulbs. I have not measured PAR for a while, but from memory I was getting in the mid 300s 12 inches below the surface and my lights are 7 inches above the tank. Would prefer to go higher but my canopy won't let me. Bottom middle of tank was running around 200 and the edges were in the low to mid 100s for Par.
