Tank size 60”x24”x24” 150 gallon. Currently lps dominant, but eventually will want to add a considerable amount of acropora.
Present lighting solution is a pair of Reef Breeders photon v2 50’s. 48”x9” is the rough dimension of each panel. Running two of them I have very wide blanket coverage.
While completely unnecessary, I have acquired 3-A360x units. My intention is to separate the reef breeders panels a bit and use the aquatic life kessil mounting plates secured into the reef breeders heat sink fins and run the Kessils down the center as an LED/LED hybrid setup.
My lights are presently 16” off the water, so I bought the 55 degree reflectors, intending to keep everything at the same height.
Goal is to essentially turn the white red and green channels of the reef breeders way way down and treat those panels as basically just actinic blue supplements, and run the Kessils at 100% color. Sort of to mimic the visual aesthetic of lower kelvin MH with blue supplements.
I’m ok with SLOWLY migrating my color and intensity that direction. This post is to mostly just outline my plan, but also ask for maybe some starting intensity recommendations and length of time to ramp up strength to achieve around 250 par midway up the tank, and 100 or so average on the sand
