I have nearly identical frags I've set up in two different frag tanks and will use this thread to track progress. Just curious to see how it goes!
Tank 1, frags are in 250-350 PAR, frag tank is 48" long 24" wide, frag racks are 5" below water surface. There are 3x A360WE set up 10" above the water spread out over the tank, 100% intensity, color at around 60% on the dial. Photo period is 10 hours.
Tank 2, frags are in 250-350 PAR, frag tank is 48" long 24" wide, frag racks are 5" below water surface. The fixture is a 48" giesemann spectra with two 400w radiums on luxtore 450w super lumen setting and 4 T5 bulbs. T5s are on 8 hours total, Halides on 6 hours total, the overlap equates to 10 hours photo period.
Both tanks are centrally plumbed to the same sump so parameters are always the same. The coral frags are ORA pearlberry, tyree rainbow stylo, rainbow monti, cornbred flaming phoenix monti, red robin stag.
