Thanks Sublime.
I just add a supplemental 16 feet of T5 lighting to my mitras light rig. I don't like how shadowed the tank seems to be with the LED's. The mitras act like large point source lighting. Don't get me wrong, I love the lights. But unlike most MH's that have a large 2' reflector, my LED's have relatively small reflectors. I will take some pictures once I get it all dialed in. Any opinions on how long I should start running them to avoid shocking the corals? Maybe an hour to start?
I have also set up my montipora quarantine tank and will start tearing all of the montipora out tomorrow. Tank is going to look fairly ugly for a while when I start ripping into it
I recently used the PAR meter to measure the difference between all mitras and Mitras plus T5. There is a larger difference than I anticipated. The mitras alone produced mid 200 PAR 6" under the water surface while adding the T5's boosted that number to ~400+. The biggest difference was a mid to lower depths. I noticed double the PAR with the addition of the T5's. I am using all superblues and the golds have a lot more "pop" now
