Where in the thread is the comparison?

Direct PAR comparisons are on page 1. Other comparisons run through the thread.

A year

Thanks I have mine at about 8-9 inches off the water and had them set to 65/20. Everything grew well except my frogspawn which had (I thought bleached) bear in mind torch and hammers were fine, so worked my lighting down to 30/10 (stupidly) and colours in the frogspawn were on a couple tips going green again. I left it this way for a couple months then my montipora digis have faded slowly over this time and the frogspawn didn't change. As that was the only change I made, I'm working it back up to where they were and possibly upto 70/25. I'm currenly at 58/18 I'll see how it goes.

They are great lights I just wish they were set and forget, as with most led lighting people like to tinker just to make that 1 coral pop that little bit brighter. You live and learn.

Caught up. I wasn't notified about the thread updates. UGH!

What is the furthest depth you have your acros.

My lowest acro is about 21 inches from the light. The tank is 27 inch deep

Good coloration and all? The reason I ask is that I have a similar light and I am currently running it full blast. And I love the results I am getting. Just seems crazy that you are at an opposite end of intensity and acros are good as well.

Yes very good color and growth. I'm sure the t5s help. Here some call phone pic.

I am battling a cold but I am supposed to go tomorrow and help fill the new coral system we built. The new cube like the one we were using came in so
we will be back on a somewhat regular testing schedule soon. I want to get numbers from the little globe light and the Pixie 150.

Some nasty bugs going around. Hope you're feeling better tomorrow.

Yea, my whole family has been sick with this wild virus and now it has found me.

 

[Manose]

The flu is real!! ;Hurting;Hurting;Nurse;Nurse

 

[dantimdad]

Sorry you have been sick my friend. Get well soon!

 

[Manose]

The new tank is in and ready to go except for me as I have my mom in the hospital. Testing should commence on more lights soon after my personal life gets out of the way.
Thanks for your patience,
Matt

Read thru all 39 pages today...wow!
Thank you for all of your time and effort! From a noob who has not bought a light yet....I learned a few things.
Hope the family is doing well.
