I'm at a loss. I've spent hours combing through threads, talking to reefers, looking up XR15 Specs, searching for other XR15 schedules...

I feel I've exhausted every mean at my disposal and I am using this as a last resort. Please, help me figure out what kind of schedule I should have.

I'm mainly lost on what intensity my light should be.

The XR15 is currently sitting ~16" off of my waters surface.

My actual water column is 10" deep

Most SPS are going to be kept 4"-6" under the waters surface.

Currently my schedule is this:

0700: 2% Deep Blue
0930: 5% Deep Blue
1130: 20% All Blues
1230: 40% 20k
1400: 50% 18k
1500: 50% 18k
1630: 40% 20k
1730: 20% All Blues
1930: 5% Deep Blue
2230: 2% Deep Blue

Is my current schedule adequate? Is it intense enough? Should I lower the light to 8"?

Thanks all in advance!

Best,

Chris

This is fine to start with, as long as corals aren't coming from being previously poorly lit.

If you are searching for color though, I would advise getting yourself up to a 12K for at least an hour everyday.
