Too much light for a hammer?

[henryriesett]

Hello all. I recently got this green hammer, and am curious if I am giving it too much light. It is about halfway up my tank, and have hear low to mid level is good. I just don’t want to be frying it without knowing until it’s too late. Thank you!

It’s nearly impossible to tell, we need to what par it’s getting and that even would let you know… if you don’t know what type of par your outputting what type of light do you have ? How high above water level? How deep is this coral from surface of water? Comparing to similar tanks dimensions and lights will help.

Looks happy. How long have you had it in this location? They can get used to quite a bit of light but it takes a little time. Flow is something that cant be too high.

Second. The coral looks pretty good & can definitely acclimate to your system. Do you ever switch on white lights & see how it reacts?

Don't know what kind of light you have or what intensity, etc.... How can we tell?

As mentioned above, it looks good and happy.

Two Red Sea reef 90s. 75 gallon standard. Coral halfway to surface. Light is about 8-10 inches above water level.
