Anyone here running or ran XR15 Pro or otherwise on a 30" wide and 24" deep and had good coral growth etc? I am planning to put one and don't care much about SPS. Mostly LPS and maybe an anemone.

I have a 15 over my 60 gallon cube24" x24" 2-3 inches of sand bed and light is 9" above water. Still trying to fig. It out yet have it set on 45% intensity 14k max and corals are bleaching Duncan's,hammer and bta. Bta is staying in lower half of tank. I did have a nitrate spike so it may have contributed to the bleach look but that was more than a month ago and not seening any improvement. That being said I do believe light is more than capable for the tank.

So I figure that yours has the regular lenses and not the wide ones. How deep is your tank?
