Kessil AP9X, running at 25% total intensity, puts 400-ish par on stylo and poci, and about 250 or so on the sandbed (center is a little brighter corners are 200-225). I will put some LED bars along the front and back when the shadowing becomes a problem.

You mind if I pick your brain about your settings? I get about 300 at top and 100 at sand. And that’s at 100 percent! Curious what you’re doing different.
Tank dimensions, depth , height from water?
Mine is 4 x 2 x 2
Light is around 10 in from the water

I run a giesemann aurora v12 on my big sps tank and 2 blade grow and 1 glow on my lps/softie tank.

Super happy with both. The aurora has, in my mind, the best design on the market for a sps dominant tank and the Ai blades are super slick and really fits in with the aesthetic I’m trying to achieve on the Nyos tank.

400g display 8x3x2 lit by 3 ledzeal mirage x200 super blues and 2 of their 6ft uv blue reef bars . Main lights peak at 40% output while the bars run at output level 2 of 6. Picks 1,3,4 are of those. Pics1,5 and 6 are Colorado sunburst in baskets that are lit by 2 ebay.evergro reef bars. 1 is full spectrum and 1 blue. Price wise I bolt believe any thing posted so far can beat the power output vs price these offer.

My current plan is a Geisseman Stellar (4 x T5) and 2 or 3 Reefi Uno 2.1 Pros. For T5 probably 2x Blue+ and either 2x Aquablue Special or 2x Coral Plus. I got the Geisseman on clearance from Coralvue. Just need to make some mounts and get the Reefis.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
