How quickly did you see this?
It is about 3 months between the pictures. I was reducing the intensity by 5% a month and observing etc…

Few years back I had fuzzy SPS:

And I had crash, went on vacation and the tank turned freshwater/brackish water.
Had bit of a reboot and for what ever the reason I had none to minimal polyp extension.

Out of all the levers I tried the light intensity is helping the most. I knew I increased the intensity at one point but I didn’t think 10-15% could make such a difference.

Good luck,

This is an almost zero risk experiment.
I will drop it some and report back...

Not sure how integration works or is all that beneficial. Test your par once and you are good to go sans re-scaping. Test once per year to monitor LED life. I can't wait to see your results!
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
