I think I may have gotten a little too excited and purchased too much lighting? I have a mixed reef and wanted to do a little heavier on sps, but that hasn’t been going so well (pretty sure due to acro pests).
I have a Red Sea reefer 350 (4 ft tank) and Im trying to solidify my lighting schedule. I have three kessil 360x + 4x54w T5. I was finally able to rent a par meter. Any recommendations? Too high intensity? Considering lowering the LEDs and increasing length of T5. In the par photo, the left number is led at peak intensity, the right number is led + t5. (Attached photo)
Current lighting schedule:
T5: 14:00-18:00
Kessils see attached photo
