Hey all, I recently purchased a setup which came with this light linked below. This light is currently on a 30g tank that is 36x15x13.
Now, I've tried looking up any reviews or anything that are about these lights specifically (not just Popbloom/dsuny) and have been coming up empty.
The lights seem to have good PAR according to their specs, but then again - not sure if that's true. Supposedly 300-350 PAR at 10".
Since it's been a while that I've been in this hobby (I got out when LED's were just becoming a thing and I ran 1st gen AI Sol Lights which were white and two different types of blues only), I am trying to hammer down an appropriate light schedule and lighting intensity. Below is the layout of the board and what LED's are on the channels.
So, here was my old light schedule and new:
Now, based off the light panel schematics, I am just curious if my corals will be getting enough. I felt like I was blasting them too much and decided to back off a bit.
I am desperately in need of borrowing or renting a PAR meter so I can figure out what each channel can produce, I feel like that channel 3 is a wild card and I don't know how much it blasts my corals.
Any input is welcome btw, feel free to chime in with anything.
Random frag test at the bottom center of the tank - I think it was getting hit too much with light and so I dropped back and moved it back to the frag rack.
Also here is a shot of peeling the film off the lights, previous owner forgot to remove it:
