Hi guys!
I’m running a 63 gallon soft coral tank. So far I have a toadstool leather and a finger leather, along with a lot of GSP, a photosynthetic gorgonian, clove polyps, some zoas and mushrooms. Adding my first bubble tip anemone tomorrow.
Currently running two Kessil a160’s on the tank with the controller x. Lighting schedule is 12 hours with peak intensity at 50%. Max Color is 25% white. When I go above this 25% color, the tank lights up with completely white lighting, which isn’t very appealing.
The max 50% intensity is running at 4 hours daily right in the middle of the schedule. It gradually increases from 0% intensity in the morning (lights come on at 8 am) and gradually decreases to 0% intensity by 8 pm.
Does anyone else run a soft coral tank? If so, do you have any tips for this particular topic? Thanks!!
