30 Gallon IM Lagoon

Hi Everybody,

I’m new to the site and was hoping to get some feedback on a lighting question. I currently am running a 24 in 6 bulb dimmable ATI fixture over my 30 gallon Innovate Marine Lagoon tank. I am growing some softies, lps, and an anemone.

Does anyone have a similar tank setup? The light right now is set 10.5 inches above the tank, and during the day has a peak intensity of 100%. Is this too much light for the tank, or should I lower the light a couple inches?

I also have a radion xr15 that I could set up if anybody thinks that is a better choice. Does anyone have a schedule and intensity for this light fixture and tank size?

The ATI setup sounds perfect to me..

The Radion would be fine too and save some money over the years as t5 bulb/energy costs add up
