Shallow reef tank Ai prime

[jacobcoral]

Do you think this is a good lighting schedule for a shallow reef tank it is BRS ab+ with saxbys schedule merged. Should I higher or lower the levels. Keep in mind it’s lower so the light has less water to travel through so it’s higher par. (I could be wrong, lmk)

How shallow is the tank? I have prime on a 15 gallon with 12" depth (really 10" cause I have 2 " of sand) softie tank at 80%

1 inch of sand the tank is 7 inches high and the light is mounted about 9.5 inches above the water

I would personally start around 50% and see how it goes and adjust from there. Thats just me, not based on any facts. Good luck to you.

I would flatten out the middle of your spectrum. I used to run a spectrum like that and the fan was always running constantly from having to ramp up and down over and over again in that time frame. Make it a flat peak for those hours, I hardly ever hear the fan anymore, pretty much only when the light turns on.

I’m not even sure how to edit it, you mean get rid of the peaks? The little triangles

Does the fan running mean anything bad?
