Ok I know a par meter would probably be the best way to determine this, but I figured I could probably get some advice on my setup.
Tank is a 65 gallon 36x24x18. Currently lit by a single de Hamilton 250w MH. Two bluacro half stars and a two t5 .
I keep several bta, they grow like mad and constantly split. Clam on the bottom directly below the MH seems to be doing well. Zoa growing and spreading. However, any Coral SPS, lps, just don't grow. SPS Brown out and just eventually die.
Parameters are well within the recommended levels
Sg 1.026
All 7.5
Call 450
Mg 1300
N03 .05
Phosphate 32ppb (trying to Lower slowly)
So all things considered what am I doing wrong? I'm at a loss. I thought that would be sufficient light, maybe I need to update.
