Light Advice (Radion XR15 Pro Intensity)

[Blindf8th]

Posted a pic for reference. Currently running the IM 30L with 2 XR15 Pro's. My light setup is based on a pre-defined template called Radiant Color. Since I have had this setup (going on 4 months now) I have had my light intensity set to 30%. My lights kcik in @ 2:00pm - 11:00pm and im currently running a very slight moon light. Not looking for the fastest growth per say, but I would like to know what other more experienced zoa keepers would recommend for my intensity. I just raised it the other day to 35% and was going to let it ride for a month so I can see how things go. That said, how can a more novice reefer tell when the light intensity is too low? I know when it gets to highi can see bleaching I believe, but looking at my pic and the depth of water (15"), what would you change if anything.

Thanks again for any information. A while back I changed lights and went through a bad water change. My colors are slowing coming back, but I'm curious on what others may recommend.

Corals can acclimate to any light intensity but the key is acclimating them to it. You radions come with an acclimation option. Choose the desired max intensity and set the time period to adjust. 6 weeks IMO would be the best adjustment period if you wanted to go from 35% to say 55%.

so would it be safe to say that you would probably go for a 55% with my setup (acclimating ofcourse). Thanks btw
