Radion Xr15

[Whysosalty]

Hello everyone, I have an IM NUVO Fusion 20. This is not my tank it’s my girlfriends. It’s her first tank and I want it to be beautiful. I myself have a 60 gallon cube and am running a Radion XR30 gen 3 pro on it. I’m wondering if the XR-15 will be a good light for the Fusion 20? Or if you have better suggestions I’d love to hear them

I run a radion xr15w pro on a Red Sea max e170 which is a 45 gallon and I like the results with my corals

What kind of corals? And where do you have the corals placed in the tank

I'm currently running the same tank with the XR15. I love it. Im using the Ecotech mount that puts it about 7.5 to 8" above waterline. I also have the diffuser installed. I am using the AB+ setting at 24%. Started it at 20%.

Thank you for your reply!! That’s exactly what I was looking for. Also do you have any corals on the sand bed??

 

[Jose guerrero]

Yes I got some lps and soft corals and zoas

I am also running the ab+ schedule at 41% being max intensity

Yes I have some LPS on or near the sandbed and I am currently acclimating some sps on the bottom and will be slowly moving it up to the top (approx 3” from waterline). To clarify I started the XR15 at 20% peak intensity throughout the day and once I put the diffuser on I slowly increased it to 24%. Reason being is from what I have read the diffuser will reduce PAR approx 4%. I will be posting some pics and details of my tank in a bit. Once I do I will post the link.
