15 gallon kessil a80 reef tips?

[ahaas248]

Welcome!

What kind of corals are you looking to grow?

Well school year just started up so now I’m focusing on softies because they are less time consuming and I still prefer them most, so mainly soft corals and lps but I have a bubblegum digi and a green birdsnest and they seem to be doing well also

I have a 15 gallon nano reef, running 2 kessil a80’s over it (1 on its way in the mail) with spectral controller. Running a icecap gyre 1k around the back just to clear up detritus. For filtering I have a reef glass protein skimmer, and I have an aquaclear 70 with the ocean box designs surface skimmer modified into a refugium with a eshoppes curve light lighting it. I have an ato and in my resovior I put polyplab 1 part in it to keep my parameters level. I’m really having trouble with my light schedule and I’m gonna need tips once my second kessil a80 comes in, does anyone run dual kessil a80s over a 10, 15, 20, or 25 gallon that can give me tips on the light schedule. I am planning on using the acclimation setting but I still need a solid schedule, any tips help, thanks! (P.S. it used to be a peninsula but I switched it over to a regular landscape style)

@dantimdad is going to make me a diffuser for the same light. You might like them as well.
