Hey everyone,
So like I said, a question about lighting settings on someone else tank. Due to the Alaska earthquake few weeks ago, my ocean revive t247 had a bit of water splashed onto it, and stopped working (the actual cause being how I mounted a bluefish mini controller) I decided it was time to upgrade my lights with 3 AI primes (1 Non HD and 2 HD).

The tank is 16x16x30 and the light was set to Bulk Reef Supplies AB+ settings, it is currently set in acclamation mode till the end of the month. Using the par reading from the video for 4 primes at 6" it would seam to my uneducated mind that it may be ok.

So I am wondering if any more expert reefers have an insight on whether the lighting will be too high for my mixed reef.

I have 90gallon. I am running 2 26hd's with modified BRS settings with higher outputs. and also 4 t5s. So i think you fine as long as you acclimate .

Thanks for the input, I wish I had access to a par meter to be sure, so far the corals seem to be responding well.

Some added info, here is my program. The base of the settings is the AB+ with a longer ramp time and adjusted whites in the evening.
