AI Blades.. intensity?

[tdubs]

I know the PAR on these can be pretty high. I have 2 "Glow" and 1 "Grow" lights. Mostly LPS with a few SPS, Monti at the top of the scale. What intensity should I be going for.. I am afraid 60% will burn them up, maybe 40%?

Unfortunately. There is no set answers may want to rent a par meter. Depends on may factors like tank depth and rock height. Currently running my blades around 60% but they are also paired with g6s

What size tank and what size Blades?

That might help. It is a Biocube 32, using the standard mounts, so it only sits about an inch above the water, about 22" from the light to the sand. 12" Blades

I used to run a 12” Grow and a 12” Glow over my old 11 cube. I had them about 6-7” above the water running the Saxby schedule at full power. I had issues getting more than 225-250 par at the top of my rocks. I struggled with acros and montis. Stylos were fine though.
