@bif24701 was wondering what your max intensity is and do you use the diffuser? I use the slight diffusers and my max intensity is 57%. i raised it to 57% from about 45% when I started to use them.
mine ar actually resting on the tank, so about 2 inches above the water. corals love itJust as the title states, I am wondering how far your lights are off your tank.
Also what lights do you have?
Two AP700 over 110G display. Just moved mine down from 9" to 7" because I'm SPS color hungry.I have two Kessil AP700s over my 180. They are 9" over the tank
You are a man after my own heart. My pink birdie is also my light gauge. I'm amazed how intense a pink she can get. I just moved my AP700s down from 9" to 7" with an 80% peak... hope I don't cook anyone.Thanks for the info, I like to see how others use their lights. I like where I have my lights. I've played with them more times than I can remember trying to get what appears to be good coverage. I used my par meter to help and I have a pink birds nest close to the top that lets me know when the intensity is too high. The diffusers help a lot as I can turn the light up to 57% and not cook my corals, but if I took the diffusers off and left it at 57% I would see polyps disappear easpecially in the upper half. I'm seeing good growth with these lights.
