So not as late to the party as I am to most but here ya go almost 2 years old
Including rampup and ramp down time

Ch 1 whites 10 hr
Ch 2 color enhancer 8 hr
Ch 3 blues 14 hour

Blues on the whites then color reverse at night

Orange Monti cap was about 3 inches from bottom of tank until about 3 weeks ago

Forest fire was 3 inches lower

Tubs stella agin 3 inches lower

All are a year old

Duncan was 1 small head now 3 large

Candy cane was 1 now almost baseball size

Both were about 4 inches lower

Shrroms started as 1 of each move green one recently so killed most of them

The grapted pink and yellow i think they are called sunfires monti cap is about 3 weeks aold started to heal and grow after 1 day

Has almost healed from damage at lfs and started climbing off the rock it's on in 3 weeks

Gorgonian is as old as the tank but way smaller lost most of it due to shroom acident caused by me and is a branch of the original I had and gave away a year ago

As you can see the proof is in the pudding

The stock leds will grow anything IME and it will be healthy

(Don't know about clams looking into it now)

Adding 2 birdsnest and another purple monti cap this week

Hello all!
I just wanted to share my most recent PAR measurements I did on the stock BioCube 32g LED lights. To make it simple I made a video on it and was able to see upwards of 300 PAR under all three channels at the highest intensity of the day, using the Seneye Reef:


Thank you so very very much for this I did not know and I needed to know for the new birds nest I was getting

Green guttatus One will be around 150 par the other purple hystrix 300 ish

Before finding this was putting green original placement of forest fire and the purple one alittle higher then where the forest fire was and alittle closer to the center now I know just about what par that is

Both should be fine as I also feed alot

Did you ever do the separate light channels measurements as you mentioned in the video?
