Impressive setup. Really like it. Do you by any chance have PAR reading of the different parts of your tank. I have a few of the corals either planned or already in my tank and your settings would help me to set up my light schedule.
Thank you for the kind words. I do not have any par measurements. Tank is 12 inches deep and lights are about 12 inches from water surface. 4x 39w T5 and 3x Kessil A360WE's. T5's come on 2 at a time starting at 10a.m. and 11am. kessils come on at 1130 am. Ramp up to peak at 5pm. Then kessils off at 9pm and T5's off 2 at a time at 10 and 11.

Thank you. Since we have so different light setup only PAR would be the the way to match it. I have LEDs only but your description may still help.
I will try to find manufacturers data to calculate what I will need to set

So UPS is awesome. Got my coral from @uniquecorals to my door in like 17 hours... unpacked them and they are slow acclimating. So far everything looks pretty good. One of the Blastos has some minor skeletal damage and loose flesh but I'm hopeful.

Everything was packaged really well. Triple bagged well secured. Had one frag that was no longer inside the cup they send. Probably why there was some minor damage.

Dang man. There's a lot there that I've never noticed in your reef. BEAUTIFUL.

What was all that gunk you're carpet spewed on you?
Those were its stinging cells. It got me good. Each tiny purple dot was a stinger. It unloaded on me.
