[darksideofthereef]

So I downgraded a few months ago and I have a nuvo 40 with a gen1 radion xr30w.(lights a upgrade even tho its old) I have it set to the ab+ setting. What should my over all intensity be?
thanks

Bump

Can you list your coral to give an idea of the light requirement they will need

Torch, frogspawn, hammer, mushrooms and zoas, birdsnest, green digi, jedi mind tricks undated, red hot setosa, bubble gum digi, elk horn, random acro toadstool, candy cane, chalices, blasto.

also following along, just got my hands on 2 gen2 XR30W and set them on AB+ im setting up a 75g mixed reef. the plan is mostly LPS, some SPS, and probably a clam down the road.

I have a Gen 1 (about 10' above the waterline over our mixed nano tank, it's hooked up to our classic Neptune on a custom schedule. We run blue light throughout the day, intensity at the peak times 11pm - 4pm is no more than 40%, Blue, Royal blue and UV are at 100%, Green 40%, Red 5%, CW 25%. I'll pull the schedule from apex if you're interested .

@BighohoReef that would be awsome. I have it mounted with the rsm mount. The stock ab+ setting I put it to had it running at 75% I tuned it down to o think 65% or 55% but feel it was still kind of high.

@Mandrew what size tank?

@darksideofthereef I don't know if you've read this article on Melev's reef but it helped me build my schedule. He is running a gen 2 but was very informative. I would also recommend renting a par meter to get readings of all the spaces in your tank so that you have a general idea of what areas run the highest and lowest.

Explaining the Radion schedule isn't that simple, unless there's some trick I'm not aware of. I've had quite a few people ask me for the schedule I use over the 60g Anemone Cube. Since December 2015, I've had a Radion Xr30 Gen2 over that tank. If you want to download that file, here it is:

Is that file in the Apex files somewhere? Or would that have to be loaded though Ecotech live?

I think it has to be loaded to EcoSmart either way you should be able to manual copy the schedule to apex

@Mandrew what size tank?

75g 48"X18"

@BighohoReef thank you I'll deff check that out and see how far off I am.

 

[Timrpn]

thanks, i have copied it into Apex, i think i can do all of it except the lunar phases.

The biggest thing was the intensity so I guess a par meter would be the key to getting it perfect
