XR15 G5 Par Levels

PugsAndFish · Jan 21, 2021

Can anyone share PAR readings for a single XR15 G5 (Pro or Blue) running the AB+ setting? Please include the intensity level as well.

I'm going to run a single fixture over a 24x20x12 tank and I want to see if a single one can hit 300 PAR with the AB+ setting. I'm guessing the Blue will have better par numbers too.

I looked at BRS videos but they only show PAR readings for a single XR15 set at about 70% intensity showing 150 PAR or so for LPS tanks and then just say to buy a XR30 without showing the full potential of the XR15.

I have WaterBox Cube 20 (18x14x16) mixed tank using XR15 G5 Pro.
When using BRS modifed AB+ settings (all Blues at 100%, Red and Green at 15%, WW 20% and CW 50%, at 70% Intensity), I had green algae problem on tank walls. Needed to clean everyday. Now, I use all Blue 100%, Red/Green/WW 15%, CW 30% and Intensity 60%. I only need to clean glass every 3 or 4 days.

I would like to see others XR15 G5 Pro settings (please include the Intensity %) and how their tanks doing. PAR numbers would be very helpful.

Mine is 12-13" off the water (too high but canopy is this way) and about 12" under the water I max out around 140 PAR at 100% everything.

See attached xr15 g5 pro

Set at 50% intensity and ramps up to 60% i think everything is happy so far.

I have a Waterbox Reef 100.3 with two G5 XR15 Pros - tank is nearing its first birthday so slowly but surely maturing and i've just added a few SPS sticks to see how they do. The lights are mounted 8" above water and secured .5" from overflow on either side of overflow. I have them on the default AB+ setting in Mobius and at 70% schedule/100% intensity, this produces right at 400 PAR in the middle top of rock work...and around 180 PAR on side-sandbed...here's a link to more discussion about the ramp...

Radion xr15 blue AB+ schedule

Hey everyone, trying to search other topics but realy not seeing too much here. Just looking for others to share their mobius photo schedule. Currently I am running the AB+ schedule starting at 8:45a and the cyan, green, reds and warm white turn on at 12:30p-4:30p then I’m thinking from 4:30p...
