Hello,

My last SPS setup, I had used a Giesseman Spectra MH/T5 fixture. It was great. The lights were either on or off.

My current tank uses a Giesseman Aurora LED/T5 fixture. The LEDs bring out a lot of color; but, I'm still new to them.
T5s: 100% 10 hours.
LEDs: I'm running my white channel at 35% (4 hours) and blues at 35% (10 hours). I've been cranking them up 5% every other week and observing response. I guess height from tank, spread and tank depth should be taken into consideration. I have no PAR meter and I'm curious to what percentages you run your LEDs at.
Corals: Acros

TIA
