When you say high intensity light, do you measure PAR?

yes i measure par with seneye i get 980 ish at surface and around 320 on the sand

I run these lights about 9-10 inches above water level and can't even increase to 70% on ch3,5,6 or it will burn my corals. Im safe @60% on3,5,6 and 10% on ch1,2,4. This high iodine method, what are you using and how much?

lugols its about 1 drop per 50 gallons daily
