Ai prime and radion xr 15 g4 pro side by side on 40 breeder

[Novicereefer]

Hey,

I have an AI Prime 16hd and Radion xr 15 g4 pro on my 40 breeder mainly lps and softy tank. I'm not sure how to program them both so they are both putting out the same amount of power. I know radion puts out 95watts at 100% vs ai prime 55 watts at 100%. Maybe I run radion at 40% and the prime at 80%? Separate them 12 inches apart and see how it goes for a couple weeks?

The only light demanding coral I have are Monticaps.

See picture for tank shot without the radion on it. I'm willing to adjust coral placement for long term success. Thoughts please

Sell the AI and get a second Radion.

The AI prime is a good light. The Radion a notch or so better. I have AI lights. I am tempted to some day get Radions mainly for the better spread. But in a tank with LPS and softies, they will both do well. Heck, my acropora do fine with old Aquaillumination lights. By the way, there are You Tube videos that should explain how to get your lights up and running and setting up the spectra and the timing. If money is no object, by all means get another Radion.
