Hello,
I have 2 echotech 15's gen 4 on my 120 tank. I had been using the coral vue template that I modified to run slightly higher than the original set up. I rented a par meter today and discovered my par needs to adjusted higher by quite a bit. The top levels in the tank had readings around 160 and I want it closer to 350. The bottom was reading near 30 in the corners.
My question is, how can I go about it in the software using the same template where it wont take effect right away but ramp up over time... im guessing a month? not to shock the coral. I was playing with the lights and I can easily get to where I want the par but I want to save what I adjusted in the sliders to my template over time. Or do I have to create a new template and ramp that up over time and if so, is there a setting to ramp it up?
sorry for all the questions, but I originally set up the lights and didnt mess with them at all. Now I have to as to bump the par.
thanks
Mike
