Radion X35 G4
Hi! I have been running the Radion X35 G4 for about 2 weeks now. I am running two of them. I keep reading that the lights should to be ran at 100% due to how powerful it is. I hear stories about corals melting. Im not sure I believe this!
I have been using the acclimation feature to warm my coral up to the light but have max power set at 55%. Do you recommend I run at full power? I dont have a PAR meter so I figured I would ask! Tank Spec 55 gallon 48"x13"x21" Coral couple SPS and soft corals

Not many people run their XR30's at 100%. The leds are alot more powerful than it looks.
Checkout this poll. Even though it was done several years ago it can still give you a idea on general power levels people are using their lights at. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2346704

I would start at 50% and stop at 70%.
