Ph is 8.2-8.4Hey bud, welcome to the party. So a few things needed so we get a better "picture" of whats going on with your tank.
1. What size is your tank
2. What are all of your water parameters (PH, ALk, Nitrate, phos.....etc)
3. How long has the tank been setup
4. Lastly.... what is your par?
Not to say these lights cant work.... not all LED's are made alike and there is a reason aquarist tend to stick with certain brands.... there is a gaurenteed performance you get per se if applied correctly. If you plan on being in the hobby for any length of time.... get better lights.
To answer your question though...without knowing your water parameters...cant tell you where to start looking for an issue.
No worries bud... please familiarize yourself with some of these terms. This make it very easy to assist. In layman's terms par is the intensity of light (In numbers) across a specific spectrum.Ph is 8.2-8.4
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0-.5
Ammonia 0
I do not have a test for calcium phos or alk but I am getting one soon
It 30 gallon
The tank is about 9 months
I’m really sorry I don’t know what par is
Any recommendations for better lights?Looked on Amazon those lights are for planted aquariums and only 31 watts. Not near enough for anemones possibly soft corals but not likely for good growth.
I’m really sorry for the inconvenienceNo worries bud... please familiarize yourself with some of these terms. This make it very easy to assist. In layman's terms par is the intensity of light (In numbers) across a specific spectrum.
That's a complicated question...lol. It depends on what your goals are...what do you want to keep. If i were you i would stay away from "cheap" lights. You end up buying the good lights anyway...so save to get those lights rather than waste money on the amazon stuff. This place is a great sounding board on lights....be honest with your goals and budget. As you know this hobby isn't a cheap one, so if you do it right the 1st time you will likely save money in the end.Any recommendations for better lights?
No worries... at 31 watts im certain it isnt putting enough par to really keep your animals healthy...also there are no spectrum documentation... we have no clue the "quality" of light your animals are getting.I’m really sorry for the inconvenience
I cannot find any info on the par
But it says it is 4515lumens if that means anything
Thanks for you patience
AlrightNot redsea 90s
Good light. Just comes with a litany of issues. I'd get different lights if I had a redo.Alright
