Favorite radion settings for lps

[Chrisv.]

Hi All, I've spent most of my time in the hobby focusing on SPS corals, and now I've set up a tank just for lps. The tank is a 40 gallon cube that will be lit by a single radion gen4 xr30pro.

I'm wondering if there is either a preset balance of LEDs or a collective favorite program that people like to use to really bring out the colors of lps. I plan to keep most of the standards: various favia/favities, goniopora, platygyra, micromussa and probably one of the gold or HG torch corals.

I typically like the ab+ color balance for SPS, but I know that a bluer tank will bring out the fluorescence a lot better.

So what do you guys use?

Any suggestions on par for the genera I listed?

Look up WWC presets that are down loadable through mobius. They run a very blue. Spectrum

Just like acros but lower overall intensity so sandbed is 80-100 par. Reduce white. Increase the blue channels and violet

What par do recommend for those sweet HG torches I see in your posts?

 

[VintageReefer]

I keep all my torches around 180 par. Not on purpose. Just happens to be the par levels the shelves are at. I have a variety from multiple areas of the world, multiple colors and types, and they all do very well in this range so I would comfortably recommend it.

This cotton candy is in 150 par, it’s happy there as well

I don’t use radions (I use reefbreeders photons v2) but the channels are similar and I feel my experience is high enough where I could give general advice and guidance
