@dave57 My acros color up nice and look happy but they grow slow. I also do notice some shadowing which causes some of my acro to be more colored on one side versus the other side. I might just end up going with an ATI fixture with reef brites LEDS.

Same with me! I feed them daily too with reef roids. I just bought the sb reef lights to suppliment my xr15.

I run 2x XR30 Pros and 1x XR15 Pro G.3s over my70G tank. It easy to over saturate the tank. I have a couple of ghost frags from increasing my intensity too quick. I like the distribution of light better, allot less shadowing. My tank is 36x24x19 running on AB settings @50% with wide angle lenses. Hope to bump up to @ 65% over the new month.

seems like a good amount of light, what are your par levels?

I haven't taken any since I added the XR15 and went with the wide angle lenses. Hope to get the clubs par meter to check it out soon. I know I should have done that before turning up the lights but thought with the spectral strength reduction of the wide angles I'd be ok, Wrong!!

Haha, never underestimate the power of leds! I wonder how long recovery will be??
