i have 2 x XR15 G5 Pro over a Reefer 250. The tank has small acro frags in it.
I had the lights set to AB @ 60% and having got a Seneye, tested and found that the PAR was pretty low. For example a strawberry shortcake acro is in 160 uMol, I guess it should be closer to 250-300 to colour up nicely.
Should i gradually ramp it up say 1-3% a day? Or would it be better to do it in one big hit?
I always thought it was better to do it gradually but I've heard people saying that it's better to do it in one go and let the coral adapt rather than constantly moving the goalposts for it.
