Hey all,
So today I did a par reading on our tank. I think our numbers are okay from what I've read on here, but I think we can be doing better. I Would like to hear your opinions or any changes that we might do to improve in lighting. Whether it be lowering the light structure or raising or lowering intensity.
Thus far Shrooms in the tank are doing well color wise and growth wise. LPS have great colors but not great growth. SPS are browning out with no growth. (Not too worried about the SPS though because it's not my gig and probably won't buy anymore lol). I used a dumb phone app to try to mark the par readings in my tank. And also added a screen shot of my light schedule from the kessil app. I'm still trying to understand these lights and app so bare with me. Just switched from 3 kessils A360WE. Any help or recommendations is greatly appreciated!
210 gal
2x Kessil AP700s hanging from canopy
Mixed reef mostly softies and LPS. There are a few SPS frags
Test was done 70% blues only which is currently our highest point in the day.
*update I did add a little more whites to them but I am not sure on the % of whites added because the app does not say.
