All~

I've recently installed some new lighting and selected Orbit Marine Dual Pro's for a 90 Gallon Reef. They provided a good balance of being budget conscious while providing some nice features such as sunrise/sunset as well as being able to use eFlux pumps to synchronize the flow in the tank.

While I mostly have LPS and Softies, I am curious who has successfully grown SPS with these lights. The PAR values at 1-6" are 220-350, which is okay for LPS, but I also have glass canopies that the light has to pass through and am sure that reduces the PAR value compared to without.

Any positive experience with SPS with these lights?

You are going to need a PAR of 250 or more at the depth where the sps corals will be.
