Looking to see what everyone keeps their percentage at on their manual dimming led fixtures. I'm running 4 x 155e reef radiance fixtures. Please post pics, percentages and what your dominant coral (sps, lps, etc) is. Thanks y'all.

I'm running my 155e at 35-40% on blues, and 10-15% white, and my 132 at 75%/30%

Don't have pics handy, but I get 125-140 PAR on the bottom of the tank directly under the lights, and ~100 in the corners.

I get nearly 800 at the top of the tank.

I have mostly LPS and zoas, also have 1 small squamosa that's very happy.

Zoas/Palys are all growing like crazy since I added the lights about 2 months ago. Acans were a little unhappy while acclimating but are now huge and happy.

Thanks Nana and cope.

I must be smoking my sps then, lol. I'm running 90% blue and 30% white! I've never checked my par but my lights are 11 inches from the surface. My sps aren't bleaching and my ritteri nem loves the water surface. I just can't find a happy medium with my eyes and cell pics. Plus not wanting to be too 10k looking or lose par for my sps.

Bump!

Wife liked the 100% blue channel, 20% white channel settings. Gives it a kinda 16k-18k look imo. Corals don't seem to mind it. Gonna put a lux app on the phone and see what I'm at today
