radion G4 spectrum question

[Fishfinder]

This is probably going to be a silly question. I was looking at radion G4 pros. I see they have their spectrum on the website. Aren't all of their color channels controllable independently? If you change the intensity of the channels wouldn't that change the spectrum coming from the light? Is their spectrum profile with all the channels at 100%?

Better have par meter before u use them. Those can burn corals. Easy

Try and look at the coral Labs white papers. They might have the spectrum's listed for the different Coral lab programs

Ok I found my answer.
..... if anyone wanted to know that spectrum is with all channels running equally

I have the regular G4 not the pro version but I use the coral lab sps AB+ setting that comes canned in the settings. I slightly modified it to shorten the white light time to 4 hours and extend the blues out a bit. Depending on your tank and also depending on how you plan to mount them above (arm or hang) you may have to make a few adjustments. I would also recommend you get the TIR lenses if you go with the pro version but unless you have a huge tank I don't think there is that much difference between the G4 and the G4 pro.

yes look on the ecotech website. They spread the light out. With a 210 you may still want to consider it. I have a Reefer 350 so I just toned down the intensity a bit. With how flexible the lights are its just comes down to playing with them a bit to find a sweet spot. The Coral Lab canned setting was a good start though.

Yea your right it is the full native color of the light.
Why do folks mess with it?
Good question.
I think Mr Sanjay runs it full up native.

Ya after I posted the question more research led me to an Advanced Aquarist article where I found my answer
