150-170 PAR Acros

[Aquanautical]

Anyone have some ideas for Acros that would do well at about 150-170 PAR?

I have a few spots slightly above the sandbed that I could put some, so far the only one I know would be a Hawkins enchinata

JF Jolt might work but that's pretty low. 200 to 250 might be better. Also depends if you have high or low nutrients. Lower nutrients = lower par needed otherwise acros will be pale.

Red planet usually still looks nice and grows in lower light

+1 on Red Planet, and Miyagi Tort

Oh yeah I love red planet, lol somehow that old school frag has been hard to find in my area

Good ideas, anyone kept a bonsai at low par?

I've kept Garf Bonsai at lower PAR and it still grows. I also had a Red Dragon grow very well under lower light.

Here's a thread I made awhile back showing growth progression of my blueberry acro at about 160 PAR. (note: others have suggested there should be a multiplier with the PAR reading; I'm no expert with that, I just noted the actual reading).

I keep frakenberry in 160-170 par. Pretty good growth too.
