Are my Radion G4 settings OK?
I upgraded from a Maxspect Razor to a set of G4 Radions last week. I am having a hard time setting them as I dont know what sort of percentages I need to use, whether dropping some colours lower will hurt anything, etc. The Maxspect was simply blues and whites, I ran 100% blues and 50% whites.
Here are a few screenshots of my current Radion settings. I am pretty happy with the way the tank looks with these settings, as I will increase the intensity over the coming weeks, but I need to know of corals are going to be happy with them? I have two for my daytime period: and my blue period: I am wondering if the white channel needs to be higher? I dont really like how it looks with it set too high, but if corals are going to suffer I guess I dont have a choice.

All that red might be a bad idea...at least it was for me. I switched to AB+ coral colors are much better after awhile.

All the blues and uv. Then peak with maybe 15 r&g. White, no more then 25% even sps. Lps
I would be no more then 40. Sps maybe 60 tops. After acclimating them. I use WWC program but less percentage in wrg. They are powerful. Corals don’t like white from leds much. |

Current output is 60% on the overall brightness slider, but if I hover over the points on the graph it says 37%. I take this to mean that 37% is the actual intensity i'm giving the corals, is that correct?

Their are plenty of proven profiles right on Reef link. You would be wise to follow them. IMO WWC has some of the best corals around grown by radions. An profiles started by them. Their r&g never go over 25
%. Good start there. Your right, as you turn individual corals down the intensity goes down. Just be careful. Plenty of us growing sps at 40%. Doesn’t take much. |

Radion Graph link
I used this when I first got Radions and found this read very helpful. Lots if useful information here.
