SPS lighting

[Charlie’s Frags]

I have 2-26’s over my 29 gallon biocube frag tank and I have to max out the blues, v, uv with the whites at 25 just to get 275-300 par on the sps frags. Now they are closer to the bottom but the standard ab+ was only generating 175 -200, and that’s with 2-26’s. But if either one of those programs should be just fine if the acros are placed higher up closer to the light source.

It has probably been modded for intensity as DZ has a deep tank. The AB+ is a tested schedule from Coral Labs that was brought out for the Ecotech Radion lights. Not saying DZ schedule is not great, but many reefers have seen great growth running the AB+.

And I think at the end of the day it will be personal preference.

I finally got in contact with the owner of this tank and these are his settings, a modified version of saxby’s settings.

I was getting 400 PAR with two hydra 26HD’s running AB+ on my 30L, granted it’s only 13” deep.

Those settings should work well if your sps are in the top half of the display like the picture

So basically a small cube because 30L is pretty small.
