Looking for some help on my 30 tall tank it’s up and running well I just added corals and I’m worried if my light is strong enough. Any one able to loan me a par meter or just come over one day and give me hand or feed back on the whole set up

What kind of light is it? A lot of lights are already tested and you can get a good idea of what the par is at different spots of your tank.

You should be fine with LPS but I wouldn't get any SPS that light will not do. The light looks nice but it's really not that strong if you want to go to anything like SPS you would need to put at least two T5 along with it. My first tank was a BioCube and I used the shorter version of that light and it grew LPS just fine

Now how low did you keep your lps in that tank guys I’ve got a tall tank but the lfs guy was fixed that I keep them on the sand

From the looks of your rock work I probably would be putting it on the sand doesn't look like much light is hitting on the sand
