Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting the right amount of light to my tank and buying or renting a par meter is not possible for me at the moment. My tank is 16Wx16L and 8 inches tall. The AI Prime HD is 7½ inches above the water line and the corals are about 6 inches below the water level even though its an 8 inch deep tank the sand bed takes up roughly 2inches. Its an lps and softie dominated tank so intense light is not my goal. I just don't know if I'm giving my coral too little amount of light with my current prime hd settings. I'm going to post a picture of my lighting schedule maybe someone thats familiar with the prime hd can help. I feel like I can turn my lights up higher but without knowing the par I'm afraid of bleaching my corals do to the shallow tank.
