Radion coral lab setting help!

jfingers8 · 10/22/2016, 08:25 PM

I have a custom 120 tank (72x24x16). I have 3 radion gen 3s (not pros). I have mainly LPS corals. What percentage would they be happy with on the coral lab setting?

I would start off around 25% and slowly move
up weekly or every other week to 40% max!

I'm running the Sps PHX14 setting. You would still start at 25?

yes, i run the mixed reef setting from coral labs, and it automatically sets the lights at 50%, at that intensity I bleached/killed a lot of my corals!
I cranked it all the way down to 20% to stop the shock. I've been slowly moving back up, but am only at 30% now, and am so scared to go higher after the damage these lights did to my corals.
Don't be fooled, these LEds pump out serious PAR.
