Radion Intensity Recommendation

[E.intheC]

I currently have a Radion XR30 Gen 3. Tank will be SPS dominant (only SPS actually) and the dimensions are roughly 22x18x18. The rock work is essentially a medium sized island in the middle, and I'm using the AB+ program. Max intensity is 35%. Should I keep it as-is or ramp it up slowly? And if so, what's the recommended intensity for the above?

Thank you

If you're going away from traditional lights to LED, I have read and would suggest starting out way lower at 15-20% and ramp up 10% every 4 weeks.

No light source is truly right, or wrong, but these LED's penetrate water like a champ.

Last month i switched from mh+t5 to radion g4 pro. I started the intensity at 50% with an acclimatation of 4 weeks starting at 50% of 50%. So far only a part of one frag have burned, the rest of the corals seem ok. I'm still in acclimatation mode (72% of 60% intensity, week 1 of 6) because i changed the schedule and want to minimize the stress. Good luck!

Thank you both.
I’m starting with fresh sps frags so the adjustment should be similar to acclimating newly added corals I would think.
