Get ready for some insane colors. I got mad colors out of my SPS when running Radions full bore, before my crash that is. Tank is almost ready for SPS again and I fully intend to continue on the same light schedule.

I have mine pretty much the same as yours. I top out at 90% channels 3,5, and 6.

Only those channels. 1 and 2 are 30% and white is 35. I run this setting 7 hours a day. I didn’t realize you meant you were going to run all channels at 100%. I’m special lol. I want to know how your sps turn out. Following

I will post a weekly update. Maybe. Lol

Mmm i was just speaking to another reefer about this. He runs 100 for 1/2 hour intervals. I was going to try the same thing but wanted to check par first

the Photon V2 does not allow 1/2 hr changes...that was the V1 version.

I burn my SPS at anything higher than 65%

Depending on the depth of the tank and height of the lights you may see par levels approaching 7-800. I just took a bunch of different reading with Radion G4Pros with diffusers and at 12" and was very surprised how high the par was. You may well cook the tank.
