So my LFS had a marineland tank bust it's bottom seal and they unfortunately lost everything. They decided they wanted to go in another direction for that spot in the store so they sold me the 8 month old Aquatic Life 48" (with four new ATI Blue plus' and a Coral plus) they had for it for $200!
I originally had my RSR 350 (primarily LPS) with two Kessil a160's ramping up to 80% intensity (peak was for 8 hrs) with heavy blues all day (never past 20% in color). I had this set up for over a year with great growth. So the set up I have now is; all T5's go from 7am-3pm then the kessils comes on from 2:30-9pm with intensity peaking now at 50%. I know I need to get a par reading done (trying to find someone to do it) but was wondering what you all thought on my my schedule, lighting, and bulb choices?
