Hello,
I'm finally getting around to setting up my Advanced Acrylics 48" X 24" X 10" AIO fragtank tommrow and I'm going to be running two Ecotech Radion G4 XR15 pro led light fixtures over it to start with. There will be a main emphasis on zoas, shrooms, favias, lps, etc for now (don't have too much sps atm)
Just wondering what light schedules people are running and what % power? and for what duration? I've always been a metal halide t5 kinda guy as it's just been super easy turn it on and it works, lol
But decided to jump on the new gen4 radion bandwagon and see if it is as good as people says it is :)

I have been doing some research quite similar to what you are looking for. I would suggest to start with what WWC is doing, and adjust from there. Here are some screenshots I took of their 293 gal. system, with par readings. They are using the same lights over this tank. Only more of them, defused. I would try to emulate that, and see what happens. Just watch that BRS video to learn the pertinent info. Good luck, sounds exciting!

I have 2 frag tanks in the making both same as yours but 12 inches high. one for zoas/lps mix like yours and the other for sps. I have 2 xr15s and a aquatic life t5 hybrid for that tank. Id suggest 50-60%.
