I recently rented a par meter and adjusted my light to where I got the par levels and spread I was hoping to achieve so I can run a sps/ Acropora dominated tank along with the corals I plan to stock. My question is does everything look good to more experienced hobbyists and does it look like it will be too bunched up ? All frags will be atleast 6 inches apart or more. Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated maybe you see something I don’t or know something I don’t. What would you do differently if it was your set up? innovative marine nuvo 40 par was checked with apogee mq-510 par meter from brs running a ai prime 16hd and single blade grow combo

That looks great. You will of course have to remain flexible though. Some corals will definitely tell you after a bit where they are happiest (color/growth). I do like sticking to a plan when it comes to coral placement for contrast, considering the color wheel.
