I have been asked time and time again for my light schedule, so today is the day! I am running a modified version of the Ecotech CoralLab AB+ schedule. The Corallab schedule is tried and true profile that grows coral real well! My only issue with it was the fact that it was ON. Full then OFF. I shaved an hour or so off the full intensity period and added a nice slow ramp up and ramp down to extend the viewing time for a few hours.
My tank is 18″ Deep, the lights are 7.5″ off the water and i run the lights at an overall intensity of 45%. I get very high par vales on my upper rock structures and don’t think i would run them any higher. You may need to adjust the overal intensity to your tanks depth/light height.
So wheres the goods?

The Video on the lighting schedule will be posted Monday on here and YouTube 🙂
how can i open this file with?
You import it into ecosmart live
My 180 is 24” deep should I run them at 50% overall? I’m running the same schedule as you
50% is a good place to start.. you can always up it a bit just do it slowly so the corals adapt
i have 2 XR15 G3 Pro and a XR30 G3 pro on a reefer 350 my schedul is very similar but the last accro i got i find that they are turning a bit on the brown side when the light are off i’m running the overall light at 45% compare to you running at 24% im woundering if i should increase or lower it ??? my parameter are quiet stable at KH 9.5 Calcium 435 MG 1320 Nitrate 0.75 Phosphate 0.04.
Your tank is only 3″ deeper than mine so you should be able to run the light at a similar setting. I did have mine at 45% as well so thats likely a good place to be
hey there Devon. I have a nuvo fusion 10. I am running the LPS/softie @20% but it says 13-14% on the actual time point with . There is no override timer, no acclimation timer, no lunar mode, and no traveling sunset. the overall percentage is at 20% so not sure why it says 13 and 14%. But I wanted to try out your settings. What percent do you think I should run it at? I just got a grafted Monti cap and a sungrcfted Monti I want to keep. My clam seems to be doing fine and growing. I know why mess with it? Well I want to dabble into SPS.
Thanks for any help. The light is about 8 inches off the tank…lights are on from 1:45PM-1:45AM.
Do you have a ReefLink? If you dont have those features it may be a reeflink thing.. not 100% as i have always had one. Either way you can just up it a few % each week.
I would keep it pretty low at first maybe 15-20%
Hello, i have 3 RadionXR15W G4 Pro, with an aquarium of 20 Inches Depth, will this schedule fit properly?

Right-click the link and go Save AS
You may want to turn the intensity up a bit higher as your tank is deeper. Mine is only 18″ deep.

In the top right there is a little dropdown menu you and you select import
Hey Deven,
Love your content on youtube. I have a 150 gallon reef (mixed) which is 31 inches deep and 6 feet in length. I’m running three radion xr15 gen4 pros but have the lights about 15 inches above the tank…I’ve been running the coral lab for about a year, but not getting to much growth….intensity is at 50% but I recently increased it to 60% due to the depth….do you suggest going a little higher with the intensity?
Thanks!
A little late of a reply but i would def increase the intensity. 31″ is pretty deep!
