Radion XR15 G5 Pro setting parameter

paul1975 · Mar 16, 2021

I've been using this light for a couple of weeks and I found my Digi turned to be white but the rests are fine. My peak time is 6 hours and intensity 100% and the total lighting time 13 hours which increase and decrease as slope. My parameter for all time 100 100 100 100 25 25 30 50. Is it too much intensity? Or anyone could suggest me the good parameter and timeline. BTW my tank 24" 16" 16". Thanks in advance.

What height is the light mounted?

Also, I personally would turn down red.

23" from bottom of tank and 9" from the top surface water.

I would imagine that if the rest of the corals are fine, particularly other sps if you have others, then it really isn't a light issue. Other than turning down red, I don't think you have too much light. I would make sure you have good flow and that you have the right amount of nitrate and phosphate (above 0.00 for sure).

If you just got the light and the digi was under a different light before, it could have just been stress by changes in lighting. If the polpys of the digi are still colorful, I think it will be fine. When I got my bubblegum digi the polpys were still red/pink but the rest of the coral was pale. Now it is doing fine.

As you said, the rests are fine. Probably I stick it with the rock wrong orientation. Normally it should be straight up but I placed it as horizontal from the rock. I just re-position and stick it properly. Hopefully It would find soon. Thanks your your comments.
