Radion XR15 Pro Lighting Schedules

T-J · Apr 8, 2021

I just switched out my ReefBreeders light for 4 Radion XR15 Pros. I also have an Apogree PAR meter and I'm working on dialing the lights in. They are on my 120 mixed reef tank, and I'm looking for any advice/guidance on getting them setup.

I'm running the AB+ schedule. I guess my biggest questions are with spacing (currently at the BRS recommended spacing of 8" and 17" from the tank edge), and intensity.

If you have a similar setup, would you mind posting pics and/or what your spacing is as well as the schedule? Thanks so much!

This is a photo of my spacing from when I first started the tank. 32" length.

I do not have any SPS yet so I am just running the WWC 120g mixed reef settings about 11 hours a day.

How has this schedule worked out?

I have been running 2 XR15 pros on my red sea XL300 for 9 months. Standard 8" ecotech mounts. Really like the lights and the ease of the mobius program. I run the AB plus program at 60% schedule currently. I do not have par numbers and I use diffusers on the lights which I highly recommend for more even light distribution.

I kept my lights at the above positions since installing them. Still running the AB+ schedule. Here's how the tank currently looks:

I’m running 3 XR15 G5 PRO with diffuser, equally spaced out from each other and from the edges on my RSR500P (~120G).

They were on the stock AB+ (50% intensity) like forever, but I put them on the stock RADIANT (50% intensity) for the last 3 months with no ill effects. In fact, I get to see different sides of the corals and fishes under both blue and white lights! Rather refreshing!
