Radion G5 XR15 Pro - Adjusitng Whites????

[CarolynZ]

Hi Radion G5 XR15 Pro users. Is there any downsides to increasing the whites on these lights? Will it affect the spectrum and overall par?

I have recently installed 4 Radion G5 XR15 pros over a 6ft, 180 gal softie/easier LPS tank. I am running the Softie/LPS template. I purchased the pro as the Blue I felt is too blue for this tank in the room it is in. This room gets a fair amount of filtered ambient light in the afternoon and, if the program is left as is, the tank is too blue for my liking.

I was going to adjust the warm whites and the bright whites to 50% from noon to 2:00 or 3:00 pm. I also have an Apogee par meter for a few days and would really like to get this right the first time around. I have spend hours and hours researching the various corals I currently have and ones on my wish list (neon green leather, neon green toadstool, zoas, a couple mushrooms, superman and citrus rhodactis, one bounce rhodactis, fl ricordea, ricordea yuma, duncan and rock flower nems. My wish list is hammer, torch and cyphastrea and a raja rampage chalice).

Any feedback about adjusting whites would be greatly appreciated.
