Nano tank Noopsyche K7 pro3 setting help!!

[Wash]

Hi everyone,
This is an SPS tank. 35cm/26cm/35cm
My light (Noopsyche K7 Pro III) is mounted 7 inches above the water surface, and the tank is 12 inches tall from the sand bed to the surface.
I'm planning to place Acropora at the spot marked with a red check.
My current light settings are:
White 20 / Blue 80 / Royal Blue 80 / UV 80 / Red 7 / Green 7
Do you think I need to adjust anything?
Thanks in advance!

How much PAR are you hoping for? 80% on a 12" deep tank with that light you're likely going to get around 300 PAR at the sandbed.

Ok, maybe not, maybe only 200.

I like my blues as high as I can o without bothering the corals. Red, green, and white I blend in to my personal viewing pleasure (usually fairly low on the white - 10% white to 75% blue over my tank).

You might be correct at 300 par @tbrown . When I ran 6 over my 180g 72x24x24" 7" above the water I was getting 300 on the bottom where I kept my clams. Unfortunately I don't remember the settings. I haven't mapped the noops on the new tank yet.
OP I would highly recommend trying to get a hold of a par meter. I compared the K7 III pros to Gen 4 xr15s and the noops made the radions look pathetic, at least as far as par was concerned.
Just some encouragement. This acro on the back wall grew from a little frag under the noops.

Thank you.
I’m aiming for 300+ PAR in the red check.
However, I’ve noticed that even users running white at 20–25, blue at 90–100, and royal blue at 90–100 don’t seem to get very high PAR values.
On top of that, I’m also using the diffuser film, which further reduces output.

I'm using 2 on my 70 and I'm getting around 350 PAR around 3" below the water surface according to the Photone app. I haven't taken a PAR with a true par meter though to verify.

I know @Goaway was getting some pretty decent par, similar to what @exnisstech is, but we all run the older ones I believe, and without the diffuser.

When I ran a K7 Pro V3 over my IM15, it was 9.5 inches from the water, intensity set at 55% full spectrum for 5 hours, shifting to B/RB/V at 70% and each of those measured 350-375 mid tank. No diffuser.

Are you still running your schedule?
W/G/R 55%
B/RB/UV 70%

I ran all channels at 55% for 5 hours then it shifted to RB/B/V at 70% with W/R/G at 0% for remainder of schedule. Measured with an Apogee MQ 510.

If possible, could you measure the PAR at 5cm, 10cm, and 15cm below the water surface?

 

[SliceGolfer]

I don’t run these lights any longer. There is nothing to measure.
