I'll be setting up an Xr30 w this weekend. Tank is 16" deep 48 long 24 wide... Is there a certain setting I should pursue? What intensity? I can mount the lights up to 17" and have the option of using the 120 lenses.... Thanks

I would say experiment with it but ensure that you set your max intensity a little less than half and ensure you use the acclimate feature.

All tanks are different, make sure to use the acclimation period and use your coral as a rule of measure. If they're happy, you're doing something right. That being said here is a site with a ton of profiles that can be downloaded and utilized. They are from folks like you and I and contain details and pictures of the "creators" tank. I have one personally that the owner of the LFS in my area put together for me, it's what he uses in his store and his maintenance accounts. If you're interested I'll share it.

40 Gallon Innovative Marine with Radio Gen2 Ecotechs
Was reading Jon's post in regards to Radion Graphs, Tried to email him but looks like he is no longer with the company. i have a 40 gallon nuvo by IM, i have assorted acans, monti, blastos, RBTA, and few different types of corals in there. I have had the tank setup for almost 9 months i put the Radio Gen 2 on them without acclimation did well for a few months and then developed really bad hair algae and my corals browned out. I have since then (past few weeks) been controlling water quality and making sure things are up to par, i wanted to see if anyone has a good lighting schedule i could import, something that is not going to white out my corals but gives good spectrum and can help with growth, i have not had much luck with LED's on growth and reef care in general. Please let me know! thanks!

First did you see the link in my previous post? Tons of schedules there! Second, you have two xr30 over a 40 gal tank? That's a ton of light!!! The browning and algae are likely po4/nitrates. The zooxanthellae in SPS being too abundant is what causes brown, and of course algae loves extra nutrients. I have Johns schedule and some of my own if you don't see any that you like on that site...
No it's only one radion not too that would be over kill!ok I will scroll up a little on this post and look for your listing!
Hello,
Ive Been messing with my radion gen 3 pro graphs on my apex and I don't really know the best program to run. My tank is a 6x2x2ft the lights are about 10" above the water.
Thanks for any advice! Also I'm looking for vortech graphs too..
Heres my current graph.

The tank is still newish past the cycle but still young.
Mostly LPS, softies and BTAs. There is a handful of montis in the tank. They seems to be doing okay. Everything is okay, but Ive noticed some extra extension on some nems and zoos. I have many acans that are not as bright as they were or as distinct.

This is the same one after I tweaked it a little for my preference of colors...

Not directly, you can load it into ecosmart live and then program them into your apex. I've done a ton of digging and can't find a way just to convert them without rebuilding them into apex.
