LED question

[saul831]

how intense (In percentage) would and LED (Radion) must be to be included in the photoperiod?

It depends, if your corals are already acclimated to intense lighting, you could start at a higher intensity. What's the depth of your tank, height of the radions for the water level and what type of lighting are you coming from?

i have my corals acclimated to 65% at this time. the lights are 8 1/2 inches from the water, and the tank is 20 inches deep. i want to have a 7hr photoperiod.

It also depend if you run at 14K, 18K or 20K or customer setting. take a look of the wattage also. if you run 20K at 80%, it maybe about the same with 14K at 50%.

Thank you for the response. I don't think i asked the right question. I have my photo-period configured, what i want to configured is my "viewing period" so it doesn't attribute to my photo-period giving my corals more light then they need. i think i have it figured out.
