Radion XR15 Gen5 schedules?

[The_Skrimp]

If some of you guys have Radion XR15s on your tank, I'm very curious to know what your lighting schedule is and what intensity you're running. I'm especially curious if you've got a 24" cube style tank.
I'm not really sure what I'm doing when it comes to lighting just yet and I hope to get this figured out before I start adding coral. I'm currently using the AB+ template in mobius but I'm thinking of changing it to the BRS template to make it a little less blue. Right now my lights are set to 50% intensity but after watching the BRS video on these lights I don't think that's enough. They also don't really talk about how long to run the lights in the video. I'm only running them for about 6 and a half hours at their peak with about a 40 minutes ramp up and ramp down on either side. I'm just worried that this might not be enough light and hope to see what other people are doing to get a better idea.
Thanks so much!

I run mine for 13 hours and then 2 hours on moon using AB+ My tank with coral and fish is at 50% intensity. My magnifica anemone dedicated tank is at 75% but I plan to raise it slowly to 100% (maybe a percent a day). I also increased my whites to 75% for my anemone.

Awesome. Thank you Sprungson. It sounds like your coral/fish tank settings are similar to mine, I just have to increase the amount of time I run the lights.

Maybe you can get others advice. I don't keep a lot of sps and my tanks are mainly anemones. They do fine 12-13 hours. I don't know about sps

Interested as I have a similar tank and in the market for a light

@saltysailor, Mine is a fifty gal cube. The Radion is a great light for my tank. It gives you lots of control but that's kind of the problem I'm having. Too much control makes it harder to figure out what's right. It gives you a handful of different templates to choose from and from there you have a lot of control on color and intensity. It has a really great looking moon light too. Best thing is you can control it from your phone.

Hey thanks for replying, I’m struggling w so many options for everything to choose from. Which radion do you have? I have a 35 gallon cube tank.

Mine is the XR15 Gen 5. It's definitely a powerful enough light for that size tank in my opinion.
