Have a red sea reefer 250 with rl90 LED laps, sitting 8.5" abow the surfere. Aquarium is about 55cm deep and wonder how high intensity I should set the lamps. today at 42%. will keep lps and some softis. I know the par level at 100% (red sea have some numbers )

I have one rl90 over 40 nuvo. So 2 over a reefer 250. I'd probably run the intensity at 70 blue and whatever white setting you prefer.

Then I'd start lower than 70. Maybe 50? With 80 I have 350ish dead center 4 inches down at the top and 120 at the bottom center.
Thx!! Then I hsve some estimates :)
