Just started my tank in June its bare bottom and started with dry rock.. I know i have lack of nutrients Nitrates-0, Phosphates-0 BUT thats not my question here.. I'm curious if i'm blasting the few corals i do have with 1 to much light and 2 to long.. my tank is 36x24x12.. I have first gen aquatic life hybrid fixture (4 T5 bulbs, 3 Blue Plus and 1 Purple Plus) with 2 Hydra 26 hd. They are mounted 7 Inches from the water.. LEDs come on at 10:30am with 3 hour ramp time then they are full peak from 12:30pm till 8:30pm;then another 3 hour ramp down time till 11:30pm... T5s turn on from 3:30pm till 6:30pm... my goal is sps but right now all i have is 2 zoas, a scoly, yuma, candy cane, small hammer, blue pavona and a grinch one..... i know theres no perfect answer to this but wanted some input. I will attach a picture of what my LED channels are at at MAX PEAK time.
