Lighting and par

[weemanno1]

Hi guys I’ve set my light up after borrowing a par meter just wanted to check if this will be ok for softies and a few LPs.! My average bottom is 150-160 and 100 on the outskirts. And 160-250 in the middle it’s an 70cm tank (80cm but 10cm is custom aio) using tmc LPs 6 at 75% intensity and can be 10% brighter in par @ 80% intensity

Those numbers look good for what you want to grow. You could even put a couple of SPS in the sections that have 200+ par.

Looks ok. I would add some coral and see how things go. One note is not to change your intensity by much once you get your corals settled - if you need to add more - do so slowly over a couple of weeks.

I would probably have 1 as a centre piece . I just need my nitrite to drop from 1.0 it’s still cycling before I add some hardy ones !
