I have a 13.5 EVO and put 2-21” grows and a 12” glow. Built a DIY mount to angle the 2 grows and place 12” glow in the middle. Light moves up and down vertically and currently about 5-6” above water level.
I just got par meter and would like advice on par measurements I need to achieve. Examples of what would be considered too much basically for a mixed reef?
Currently have:
2- montipora digitata
2- stylophora
Grinch porites
Favite
2- chalices
Kenya tree
Burning banana Stylocoeniella
Fireworks polyps
Some Zoas
Will be adding more, but want to mostly accommodate softies and lps.
I know it’s overkill for this tank and Par measurements can be off the charts at 100%, so I will need to dial it down. I did this because I’m able to minimize the shadows and will be able to run lights at lower level which will dramatically reduce the heat as well.
