Nice shimmer with water power head hitting the surface of waterI am a t5 guy but for my new build am considering photons with t5 retro. I have in the past used Kessils to adds shimmer to my tank. How is the shimmer with these photon v2?
Wondering if someone can chime in and let me know if lighting is my issue.

Zoas are closed up, sps are taking a beating all over stn from base up, tips, lps arent expanding, next to no growth, no coraline growth at all.
Flow isnt thought to be an issue here.
I revised my schedule earlier. Once I'm back I'll probably reduce further as you've mentioned max 40. Does ramping have an impact vs the constant levels I had before?It sounds to me like it could be too much light. Zoos and LPS retracting is a common sign. 8 hours at 60% on the blue channels is pretty powerful, especially with a 40" x 20" x 20" tank running a Photon 32-V2+. I recommend dialing it back a bit, to 40% max on CH3, 5, and 6, and 16 max on CH4. Give it a week or so and see if your corals start opening back up.

How did you build the wall brackets?Just got my V2 up!
How did you build the wall brackets?
How hot do these get and can you keep them right on top of the tank? I only have about a 2" clearance between the top of my tank and the structure the tank is built into.
I bought 6 50" v2+ fixtures for my 780 gallon tank, I am working on building the light rack, I should have my rack hung this weekend, anyone has the excel sheet on ramp up and down that is shown in this thread, I want to play with colors but that chart is good start.. I will post pictures when I have my lights up and running...
