Your top PAR is just 33????
Even for zoas I would want 50 minimum and up to 100. For lps I'd want 100 minimum and up to 200 or more.
At the top of my rockscape (8" below the water surface) my PAR is 300.
I think you didn't see the chart in the picture
Yes sir I'll take your advice with those pics of success right there! WoahI run a 13 hour light schedule, the 80 par is at peak and only about 6 hours or so. With the main peak with whiles only 2 hours. My tanks are pretty blue.
If you plan on keeping euphyllia or gonipora I would keep them up top with the little higher light and that way they are away from stinging stuff As well. Certain zoas will also be ok.
Mid light around the 80 par mark give or take a little bit. I would do zoas, acans, favias
Around 60-70 go for mushrooms, chalices cyphastrea.
Most of these corals can do well in higher light if acclimated but I wouldnt do too much more on the acans as the colors tend to morph.
30g chalice tank before I turned into a zoa frag tank
My acan tank a few months back
Yes sir I'll take your advice with those pics of success right there! Woah
Thanks brother! Figured I would add them so you could see it wasn’t just talk. A lot of people over estimate how much par lps need. The acans right in the center, under the light are getting about 90 par while others in the tank 70-80. Not saying they can’t do well in higher par but I’ve had much better success with lower. Check out the build for some Marco shot with the colors I’m pulling.
