So after renting a PAR meter and finding out my intensity was way too low I figured I should slowly acclimate my coral to 10% a week higher intensity lighting. My corals were surviving at these super low levels but not really growing all that much. It's been about 5 days since and I've noticed some of my coral doing better and some not as much. This may be due to other factors but that's beside the point.
From reading what's on the forums here about PAR, I found out LEDs can burn coral easier than other lighting and am wondering a few things.
Should lower PAR levels should be considered when using LEDs? (Tidal Gardens vs. Vivid Aquariums PAR)
Is there a PUR to PAR ratio to consider when using LEDs vs T5?
Should corals put directly under a LED light source be treated differently despite PAR?
How should whites and blues be treated on LEDs?
