Settings for my radions

[Shadowspop]

I recently upgraded my lighting in my 93 cube to 2- radion 15 gen 4 pros. I've never had to control my lighting to such standards. Please help! Not sure about hours, spectrum, or intensity. Some corals seem to be thriving, others don't look thrilled.

Are you running any kind of acclimation program with the changeover?

I did, I ramped up over the course of 2 weeks, but the lighting seemed pretty close to what I previously had with my Chinese box. My max is 77%, and I'm not even close to that. Tank is 24 inches deep and 30 inches on the sides.

Ive got 2 XR30's gen 4s over a 100 gal, here are my settings. I tuned down the UV channel over the day and it never goes above 50%. I'm not sure which channel is your UV, but I've been told that 100% UV with Radions is too much for many corals. FWIW.

What do you mean by some corals don't seem thrilled? What kind of corals? Sometimes it may take a month or more to adjust to a major lighting change.

Thanks, I'll have to check that.

Acans, zoas, chalices, daisys and a digi are all doing great. My psammo are growing like crazy. A couple of montis, a meat coral, a couple of chalice. Aren't looking great or showing the growth or polyp extension I saw before. My bubble tips seem great, but aren't showing their full bubble tip if that makes sense. I think my rainbow bubble is just tired of getting abused by my clowns.
