Okay so after having the tank set up for 6 months I’m sure I’m going to need 2 of these lights to help combat shadowing and help get the sps island I have higher par without nuking my lps.

I’m just not too sure of how to go about this. I have the current light at 70% BRS recommended (with CW at 20%) and will move it over to fit the new light. Should I turn them both down to like 50% and start ramping that way? I don’t have a par meter to match so I’m sort of in the dark here. I’m thinking of running 85% above the sps section and 60-65% above the lps/Euphyllia sectionBelow are the intensity BRS recommends and the par level I’m sitting at now.

Any and all help is appropriated!
 
Any help just picked up the light had a hard time finding one will place on tank tomorrow night.

Any tips on ramping them up?
 
I have a single ai 16 hd on a 7g side frag tank and a par meter.
