PAR settings in your tank

no build thread? no fts?

Haven’t built a tank since I joined.

I’m surprised so many people are keeping lower numbers. My LED tanks are around 350 at the top rocks and my MH are over 500.

what tank is this then? what metal halides are you running on what size tank? what led tanks do you run with 350?

I try to run relatively high PAR in my tanks, so I always put new corals near the bottom of my tank and then work them up to where I actually want them.

45 and 90g cube. Reef Brite 400 hybrid on the 90 and two Chinese fixtures, I believe they are hipergro would have to check, on the 45.

That might be the push I needed to rebuild the 45. I have a couple badly damaged spots from coralline on it. Been meaning to pull it down and refinish it but it’s currently summer and I have little interest in polishing glass in the heat.

This is super helpful thanks. I’m using a Reefbreeders 48V2 over my tank. My PAR is definitely lower. At least I feel comfortable putting mid-100s at the sand bed.
