This is my program radion

[lucami]

I started my marine on 1 January 2020. I started with 130w bluray gnc and about 15 days ago I changed light with a radion xr15. The choice was made to have more colors on the Lps, less weight above the tank with the danger of falling, less light outside the room and less consumption.
After the light change I had an algae phase that is not over yet. In these days I have lowered the white channel from 15% to 10% for less peak hours.
Compared to gnc I now have many more shadow areas but brighter colors and less light wasted on the room.
I would like to show you my program to understand if according to you is good.
Sorry for my English, I love Google traslate

This is my schedule. How do you like it?

I like the shape of your schedule but would guess you are blasting the tank with too much light. Have you considered renting a par meter or borrowing one from a fellow reefer?

How deep is the tank and how far above the water are the lights? 100% intensity from a Radion is some serious fire power.

My small tank i have a gen 4 xr15 10 hour photo period 100% at 15k. My big tank is 30 inches deep 2 gen 4 xr30's at 90 % for 10 hours at 15k. But tanks run max intensity for 4 hours 2 hour ramp up and 4 hours in the evening just blues so i can enjoy the colors.

In 30" I think that might be ok, but as a reference I have 3 Gen 4 Pros over my 66" long 24" deep reef and have par levels above 300 halfway down at only 65% intensity on the AB+ program.

Since you have an LPS tank, I would guess they are getting more than enough par. The algae is going to come down to available nutrients over lighting though.

The tank measures 60 x 40 x 50 cm in height.
The maximum peak is from 3.00 pm to 4.30 pm with 100% intensity, the rest of the hours is at 90%
It's to o much?

unfortunately I don't have the possibility to have a par meter and no friend has it
I have 1.5 hours peak with 100% and white colors, the rest is 90% with colors all very blue
