PAR to high for LPS?

[Salted Tank]

Howdy!

I have a situation in the household... I love SPS but my fiancée loves LPS. Do you think my tank PAR will be too much for most LPS? Love to hear your thoughts and suggestions to bring peace to our home. Ha!

Thanks for the help!

I have frogspawn and hammers in 200+ par. They’re very adaptable.

This picture’s about six months old. Just not near the aquarium right now to send you a recent one. But they an handle it. The chalices you see in the middle are in about 200.

This one’s more recent. I happened to make the frogspawn mad in this one (got shuffled while I was cleaning), but there you go. Total mixed tank, acros to softies.

Most LPS are tolerant of higher PAR as long as you work them up to it. Either with acclimation mode on the lights or starting them on the bottom and moving them up.

You will be fine as long as you acclimate them to the higher light. That is pretty universal for most corals.

wow! Great news! Thank you all for the feedback. How long should this acclimation period typically be?
