Best SPS schedule advice

[percy_1981]

Hi guys, I have an SPS dominated tank and have had 2 xr15w pros on my 3 foot tank for about a month. I like the radiant colour mode but not sure how this fares with SPS.

Has anyone got a proven SPS schedule to share with me at all?

Thanks in advance

The answer to your question will highly depend on the height of the lights above your tank, the depth of the tank, and the types of SPS you keep and where they are placed. But in general, I have played around with my Radion settings for almost two years now and the best setting for my reef seems to be the preset "Shallow Reef" setting, at 70% with a 9 foot depth offset. My SPS have spawned every few months at this setting as well.

Thanks for your input mate. My lights are around 8 inches from water surface and my tank is 3x2x2 so 2 feet depth. My SPS are mainly acros, monti plates and digi's and stylo and green birds nest etc.

What time do you have them going on and off and did you make any adjustments to the pre set or just go with it? It looks good but I do like a bit of the moonlight late at night.

Thanks again for replying.

My schedule has been growing multiple varieties of monti, green slimmer, and a few other SPS. It also has a killer night schedule, that really sets the mood to kick back and relax with your favorite person and a little music.

Here is the file. If you want to try it, download it, change the zip to etg and then import it. Make sure to export you current schedule for a backup before hand. View attachment 293302

FYI - My lights are nine inches above the water.
