Monti and AI Prime HD16

[PeterEde]

Will my Monti do ok as located under a single HD16?
UV and blues are maxed for day or do I need a 2nd or swap to Hydra32?

I grew these from the size of a quarter each under a single prime

What height above was the Prime?
The other issue is flow. Will there be enough unless I point my Nero at it
Thanks for your comment.

They look great BTW. I'll add a few others in time

Montis were 4” below water surface. Prime was 10” of water. Plenty of flow in general. Don’t need flow pointed directly at the montis

Photosaturation for Montipora is at very low PAR, like 50 PAR for some species. If your produces in the 100-200 PAR range, you can grow most any Montipora.

My No3 is currently 30ish ppm. I guess that should come down to below 20?
Or can Monti handle the 30ish? It's the only sps in the tank
2 water changes over the weekend will get it around 20

5-10 is the usual range but not critical for most Montipora.
