    I need some advice for programing my gen 2 Radions. I am setting up a new 60 gal cube which is 24 in deep. The lights are 9 inches above water level. The tank is currently cycling and no livestock will be added for a few weeks. I plan to be keeping mostly softies and some LPS to start. Any ideas about what % of light intensity to start out with? Im new to LEDs. Had T5s on my previous tank. (btw, these things seem AWSOME!)

    Over my 34G Cube my Radion is about 11" off the water and running 45-50% absolutely no higher.

    I'm 1 month into having my Radions and I can't say enough about them. Best thing I did was get the TIR Wide Angle Lens. More light spread and deeper penetration for my 90 gallon. Mine are 12 inches off the water running at 55% Andy corals are nice and happy while my fish are full of color.

    +1 35% would be more than adequate, ive grown acros at 35% in a 125g
