    Question Radion XR30W G4 Pro schedule settings Apex 2016

    Hi,

    I recently setup my Red sea reefer 525 xl with almost full apex control and I bought two Radion XR30 G4 to provide the light to my tank which is going to be at mix reef tank.

    How do I schedule the 8 channels to provide me the best light for SPS and LPS corals? I have seen a lot of nice suggestions for the G3 version, but have not seen any regarding G4 - Anyone who can assist me?

    According to the Coral Lab Papers https://ecotechmarine.com/wp-content...e_CoralLab.pdf from Ecotech Marine, SPS AB+ is a pretty good setting. If you are using an Apex to control your G4's then the consensus I found was that SPS AB+ is equal to this:

    Then adjust your intensity accordingly. I'd start low then slowly (days/weeks) work up.

    Yes, the levels stay the same throughout the day, only the percentage (intensity or brightness) changes.

    Cool. Will give that a try. One more question. If i am adjustment the spectrum and not changing its intensity. Do i need to do it gradually?

    And for this profile does the light look very blue the whole time when light is on? Because i prefer to have more white light to make the tank look more natural actually

    Yes I would change it gradually, but you shouldn't need to go as slow as if you were changing intensity.

    I don't care for a "blue" looking light either. I came from MH running Phoenix 14K 250W DE lamps.
    This spectrum look nice in my opinion.

    How long have you been using this profile? Do you get good colour / growth with it? Mine is a 84 x 24 x 24. Using 3 x G4pro. 80% LFS 20% SPS mixed reef tank.
