I hope everyone is doing well today and your tanks are thriving!

I have an SPS dominant tank that i added my first SPS frags ~8mo ago.

I rented a PAR meter in the past and mapped out my reading, and i have been placing my SPS in PAR ranges that make sense.

As your frags get bigger and closer to the lights, do you make adjustments in lighting intensity?

I don't have this problem yet but my frags are growing and i want to understand what i should do IF i get to have the good problem.
 
Your SPS will acclimate to the higher PAR as they grow up towards the light.

Nice. That's what i was hoping to hear. Hopefully mine continue to grow, and my tank reaches an old age!
