Radion Lighting + MP10 Flow

Sagz70

Registered Reefer
I have a shallow reef set up with a 48x24x12 tank.
I currently have 2 Radion Gen 1's mounted pretty high above the tank so the spread is good and since it's shallow, I figured I could get away with having them so high. I run them max at 40% at the moment and I dont know if that's too low or too high.
I will be upgrading to G3's soon and wanted to know what settings/intensity should I run them at? It's a mixed reef with lots of sps frags and zoas/lps along the bottom.

Also, right now I am running 2 MP10wes on opposite sides of the tank. They are maxed at 45% intensity right now. I was wondering, is this the best set up for them? I was thinking about moving them both to the right side of the tank (opposite of the overflow and return) and maybe add another powerhead to the left side.

Any suggestions or ideas would be great!
 
Well I have a similar setup. Only bigger. Mine measures 68.5 X 72 X 16.5. I have 4 Radions (2- Gen2 & 2Gen2 Pros ) set 16.5 " above the water.
Currently I'm running a modified version of the Radiant Color template.
Blues & White @ 100% Reds & Greens @ 25% Overall at 80%
Now mind you I've gotten to 80% VERY slowly over the last 5 months via a combo of raising the intensity and lower the lights.
I too have a mixed tank. And everything is doing very well.
I plan on going higher But atm I'm dealing with an algae issue. Not sure whats causing it. So I'm holding here and may even back off a bit.
Cant comment on the pump part yet I just received my first MP40 yesterday.
 
^^ I had a horrible cyano out break so recently I decided to cut down my reds to 0 during the day and only have them during sunrise and sunset. I may decide to raise 5% every 2-3 weeks and go up to 60%.

I think I have added all the corals I want so acclimating new corals woudn't be an issue.
