Ive got a stock light running on my fluval sea evo 13.5 which has been running for 9 months, can I keep a Lobophyllia coral in my tank and where would be best to place it. Looking online lobos can have par of 50-150 so it could work on sand-bed Photo tax of lobo options

So I got this Acro I think its was a miyagi tort acro. I'm curious if I ended up burning the color off with too much par. I borrowed a apogee MQ usb and found it was sitting around 280-300 PAR. It had growth so I just left it alone. Anyone else experience this and is there no recovery at this...

For context, I’m running an AI Hydra 32HD 12 inches above my IM 25 Lagoon (about 11-12" deep to the sand bed). My goal is to keep a few Acros positioned near the center of the tank where they can reach reasonable PAR levels, while still keeping my surrounding LPS comfortable. I’m not trying to...

I have been using a Ledzeal mirage x200LED light above my coral frag tank. I don't have a PAR meter, but I do have a HOBO logger to log Lux values. Because I have selected a blue-heavy spectral composition, I was going to use a conversion factor of 30 in my equation PPFD = Lux / conversion...

So...I finally got the chance to get some PAR readings on the Nicrew HyperReef 200 Gen 2. Shout out and thanks to @pwfess for the Apogee PAR meter rental. The lights are hanging 13 in over the tank. The tank is 54”x26”x22” Hanging Video - Light Unboxing -

I recently took some PAR readings of the Nicrew HyperReef 50W (Generation 1) light. My tank is 15 inches tall, and the light is mounted using the standard bracket that comes with it, placing the fixture about 23 inches above the sand bed. The readings were taken using a Danoplus PAR meter, so...

Hey all, I have a PARWise Par Meter that I've used probably 2 times for 5 minutes to program my LEDs. It was always rinsed with RODI water immediately after usage and dried. It still has the plastic seal over the meter and comes in the original box. It's basically a new meter. Comes with...

Hi everyone, I’ve recently bought two Red Sea 90 lights for my tank. I have 326l aqua one tank with dimensions: 120cm (length) x 55cm (depth) x 53cm (height). My question is how to create and understand PAR parameters. I have 45% blue and 10% settings. Lights are mounted at 21cm from the lid...

Can anyone share their par readings and settings if available. Or just their settings, size of tank and pics etc. Like to make a database trend. Thanks 👍

Does anyone here use lumini/lominie pixie 150? I have a pair that came w my aquarium, and I would like to know how good they are for sps corals. My aquarium is 60cm in depth. I don't have a PAR meter and I searched the forum, I stumbled upon some posts that said they were powerful, but no...

Whatsup fellas, I went back and forth a lot but I decided on going with a 230 system, 190gal display 72x26x24. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do gyres icecap 4k’s maybe one on each side with 2 nero3’s one on each side of the internal overflow to blow behind the rocks. I am stuck on the lighting...

Hey! I’m going to get a 60x24x24 150gal tank. I’m very fond of the nicrew hyper reef gen 2. How many and what strength do you think I need to cover that tank? For mixed reef And if you think there are better options out there I’m open to anything

Trying to plan out what to put where on these shelves

Anyone have any par reading for Nicrew 200 G2? I'm thinking of replacing 3 WEAK XR15 G5 Pro on my 4 ft long tank. Getting garbage par with my XR and getting outperformed by two AI blades.

Hi all. So I’ve got a shipment of some acropora coming in. Most of my stuff has been doing really well and I have a few spots on my centre rock to give acros a proper go. My current lighting is a pacific sun pandora LED t5 combo with four 4ft t5 tubes and three led pucks. My lights are set to...

Hello all. I recently bought a used AP700 fixture off of eBay and unfortunately the white LEDs do not work on one of the pucks. After this, I found another AP700 on eBay to try out and I am now questioning if it’s the right choice for my tank. My tank is 48lx20wx18h and is currently run by two...

What’s up guys, so I had a bad algae bloom in the past that killed off a lot of coral, tank had been good. Just a lot of the red cyanobacteria on the sand and rock work that I have to blow off every couple of days . Par near the Acans is about 85-90. My Acans and GSP have not been open in a...

Looking for feedback on my PAR values. I've got an IM Nuvo 20, with a single AI Prime 16HD mounted on the AI tank mount 10" above the water line. I'm using the BRS settings attached, adjusted to 30%. The values are on the higher end of the averages. The readings jumped around a lot due to...
