Light Advice (Radion XR15 Pro Intensity)


Currently running the IM 30L with 2 XR15 Pro's. My light setup is based on a pre-defined template called Radiant Color. Since I have had this setup in place (going on 4 months now), I have had my light intensity set to 30%. My lights kick in @ 2:00pm - 11:00pm and I'm currently using a very slight moonlight. Not looking for the fastest growth per say, but I would like to know what other more experienced Zoa keepers would recommend for my intensity %. I just raised it the other day to 35% and was going to let it ride for a month so I can see how things go. That said, how can a more novice reefer tell when the light intensity is too low\high? I know when it gets to high its possible for them to become bleached (I believe).

that said, looking at my pic and the depth of water (15"), what would you change the Radion light intensity to (or anything else) for that matter?

Thanks for any feedback\information. A while back I went through a bad water change. My colors are slowing coming back, but I'm curious on what others may recommend as I think I might not be providing enough .

I'm running mine on the high growth template, at 55% about 11" off the top of the water.

And all my zoo's are doing great , so much so that I am having to frag out a lot.

I love this light.

Do I need a reeflink to use pre light settings.

No. You can connect to laptop/computer via USB.
