AI Blade Grow/Glow, how deep does the 12" version punch?

[SomeHappyFish]

Would two AI Blade 12" be okay for my 20x20x20 tank with a kessil a 160 in the middle?

I feel like they won't punch deep enough..

I only need enough par for hammers and frogspawn. No sps.

Yes I think that’s plenty. The blade is a powerful light. Good spread

Anecdotally, I think you could hit 300 par at 20" with lights at 100%. Keep in mind the blues and white produce the most par.

I would use Mobius and try out the presets for the Blades and get a par meter to map out your par if you can.

The tank is 20*20 and the smallest the Helix goes is 23”.

The Blade is a better choice by leaps and bounds here

I missed that size, very sorry for a bad recommendation. Happy Reefing

With my kessil at 100% or the 12" blades? Or both?
