Radion g5 settings for sps tank

[DTz]

Hi guys. This is my current setting for my sps tank. Light runs for 12 hours with peak for 6 hours. Peak is 300 par on top part of the tank. Any recommendation on the best hours for peak without burning corals?

I use the AB+ program on my radion gen 5 blue on my sps tank with 50% max and all channels at 100%

I have been thinking to upgrade to xr15 G5 from AI Prime HD for my Waterbox 20 Cube. You said 'for a while', exactly how long and how are your coral growth? TY.

Why you wished for the Pro instead of Blue?

Blue is plug and play, you can adjust channel too but am not recommending. and Pro you can play around

I am waiting for those existing questionable (quality control) batch of products gone and the major Mobius App issues solved, then I will buy one - mostly likely the Pro version. And thanks for sharing the experience on the product and settings.

Only run mine at 36 intensity and not all at 100%. Use the ab plus.

Whats the depth on your tank?

Is it correct to say with the blue unit when all channels are on 100% that you have the AB+ schedule?
if this is altered then you are not running the AB+ schedule?
i have left all channels on 100% but adjust the point intensity to dim it down but want to get a better pop at night
any recommendations on what colours to set where for the best pop?

Hey All,

Hoping for some advice.

I have 2 G5 XR30 pros on a Red Sea Reefer 250 (21" tall tank).

What intensity would you set them to have SPS happy a few inches off the bottom?

What were the XR15 Blue G5 issues? Just curious since I picked up a used model from December 2020. So far, no issues that I am aware of (unit or app on iOS).

I have been super happy with it, but the light is still in the acclimation mode. Everything looks amazing though, but my stock light sucked and my old LED e.Shine (~75w vs 100w) only had the ability to tune two channels. Growth was good, but nothing popped as vibrant as the G5 Blue.

How big is your tank . I have the same lights on a 3ft tank I have 2 g5 blues . I'm trying to start growing sps . It's my first time with acros. I've always had lps with ai primes. So I started a new tank with raidons red sea reefer 300 . Hopefully I can have a successful mixed reef
